We had quite a bloody good trip to London. It was MBH’s first time she’d spent more than an hour there and the first time I’ve spent any social time there for around 20 years. That was the slightly weird bit for me – so many memories that seemed only a little while ago, but when I thought about it and looked around so much time has passed. I wondered what happened to all the people I knew back then. Most of them were from the four corners of the Globe. This was before everybody had mobile phones, email was just beginning to take off and to keep in touch you had to write an actual letter. The problem with that, is if you moved or they moved and forwarding addresses weren’t passed on – well you lost touch with people. Now you’d just connect on Facebook or swap email addresses and you’d pretty much be in touch for life.

Bittersweet really. Smiling at remembering all the faces and occasions, but probably never going to catch up with those folk again.
