A great weekend!!!

Met up with my mate Rach this weekend and Geraldine who I taught with in my first year of teaching in London.

Rach I see a lot but hadn't seen Gel for about 8 years and that was only briefly at Rach's wedding.

The weird thing was that really none of us had changed at all. Of course we had change physically - age and children have not gone unnoticed on our faces but essentially we were just the same people picking up from where we left off about 12 years ago. Magic.

Gel is nearly 40! that kind of thing makes you stop and think - how quickly life is zooming by - when we were last all together we had our whole lives and futures ahead of us. Rach and I were not with our future husbands and we had no idea how our lives would pan out.

I think we are all much more comfortable in our own skin these days. We all look older (I look the oldest which is unfair since I am actually the youngest!) but none of us are trying to be anything we're not. We were honest about how hard motherhood is and how much we love our husbands even though sometimes it's tough. We all admitted to our own faults and tendency towards high maintenance and there wasn't a shred of competition between us; each being happy for the others' achievements.

Meeting up with old friends you haven't seen for years can be nerve wracking - (ask Gels' stomach!) but definitely worth it. Hopefully we'll do it again soon.
