Childhood Friend.....

This week's question from David (Authorblog) is

Who was your best childhood friend?
Here what David would like you to do if you want to join in:

Please answer today's question on your own blog, any time until next weekend. Please link to this blog (or to this post) just so I can follow the progress of the discussion.



My best childhood friend was called Susan. We were inseperable from the age of four when we went through nursery, primary and junior school together. We frequently went to each other's house for tea and spent all the school holidays together. We lost touch when we went to different Senior schools at the age of eleven. I wish I could meet up with her again to find out how her life has turned out and whether she has any children and grandchildren. I loved Susan so much I called my dolly after her.


This picture is of us in class at around 6 years old.




Now the memory has been stirred I think I may try to find her on Friend's Reunited.

Now just when you thought the awards had all been given out Bella (The (mad) Household of La Bellina Mammina) has graciously awarded me another one! Thank you Bella you make me smile too. x







The You Make Me Smile Award

In the words of the creator:

"The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met MANY wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell, and I am grateful every day for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with. I wanted to create something special for the top ten people who have inspired me through their blogging; the stories they tell, and the lives that they lead with grace and dignity. I visit their blogs for inspiration and encouragement".

Apparently one has to pass it on to ten people in alphabetical order so here goes.....


Jenny (Blog This!)
Flowerpot (Flowerpot Days)
Empress Bee (Muffin53)

Go visit them and let them make you smile too.

I saw this over at David's and thought about doing it but the problem is that I was a military brat and we moved all over the place when I was a kid. My best friends were spread out between Arizona, Florida, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Connecticut, etc. It would make for quite the long post if I could even remember all of those friends!
