Happy Days At The Towers

What can I say …… after the stupendous build up of the PE and Finance Ladies visit, as I write this, with heavy heart, they have already left and returned to the bosom of their families.  Their sleepover visit was all too short and amid all the excitement the taking of pictures was all but forgotten, however, as Nigel so sagely put it, all the pictures he ever needed were safely in his head (and heart) forever and that was all that mattered.

The visit was all tooooooooooo wonderful.  Darrell did one of his glorious spag. bols, accompanied by a humongous pile of garlic bread to wipe up the sauce (and yes, I think we all probably hum, but what’s a pungent ponk between friends). There was also a chilled  prune, Armagnac and ginger nut cheesecake with espresso sauce for afters.

Then we finally all settled down on the sofa to really catch up on all the PE and Finance Ladies adventures and they ours and then we reminisced and reminisced and reminisced  with much laughter until ….. it got a little emotional. Our friendship has seen so many shared adventures ….. but all our lives have moved on and those said shared adventures were now all too few and far between.

However, to help lift the mood Darrell had noticed that The PE Lady had been eyeing up his beloved and not unsubstantial cocktail cabinet so when she asked him if she could have a little dabble with it’s contents, he was only to delighted to fling wide the cupboard doors  to her.

Let’s just say the PE Lady was extremely experimental in the making of her concoctions, some of which made us cough and splutter a little but the mood certainly lightened and turned to the future …… and adventures to come ………. to wit a trip to Llandudno together in July ………

……. well, I think it was Llandudno, but Darrell seems to think it might have been Lanzarote and Nigel was pretty sure it is Lytham St Annes ….. but anyway, I remember us all toasting our plans with great gusto at around 3 o’clock in the morning before finally finding the way our beds! So …. we have decided to wait for the ladies to get back to us with travel arrangements etc. to find out for certain where we have agreed to go  …… well, it would have looked rude and a little remiss to ask them before they left wouldn’t it …… happy days!
