before I left England 0ne of the lovely things was meeting up again with my Uncle Albert, Auntie Jean and cousin Christine. Definitely childhood favourites. Somehow, as we all moved around we lost touch and incredibly it had been 30 years since I had seen Christine and about 23 since I saw my aunt and uncle.
So when I found they were living in Sheffield once more, I couldn't wait to see them again. As Christine and I were born only three weeks apart we were like sisters and shared many childhood experiences...holidays, birthday parties so as you can imagine the air was thick with memories.... Do you remember the time Uncle Albert made a special bed so we could sleep in the back of the car... do you remember patting Shetland ponies in the New Forest and so on and so on! So glad we caught up and hopefully we will all meet up next year in UK.
Also managed to organise dinner and theatre with my friend Maria . KT came along too which was great and after dinner in a new swanky Italian restaurant (used to be the boys grammar school!). We saw Rainman at the Lyceum. Fond memories for me as I used to go there with my dad. Still remember seeing Noel Cowards private lives there when I was about 14.............ah memories!
Oh the joys of having world newspapers at the local newsagents!
