Long time no see

I am so excited. This weekend I am meeting up with these two:

Jane is on the left and Ann on the right. We met in the first year of secondary school, aged 11 and have been friends ever since. We don't get to meet up anywhere near frequently enough. In fact, we have just worked out that the last time we actually got together was 12 years ago! A lot to catch up on! We do keep in touch with letters at Christmas and birthdays, and on Facebook, but it will be so nice to actually see them face to face and I am determined to get some photos! Ann still lives in Hemel Hempstead, Jane lives just outside Cambridge, but her parents, like mine, still live in Hemel. My parents see Ann fairly frequently, so they have seen her more often than I have! We are meeting in Hemel as it means that Jane and I can also tie it in with a family visit. We are going out for lunch and I expect there to be non-stop talking for several hours! I can't wait!
