We had a quiet day , relaxing and a visit to the nearby local deli . Late afternoon Joan drove me over to Harpenden to stay with my friends Glyn and Gwynn for the next two nights. I was very sad to say goodbye to Joan and Bill .
However, Glyn and Gwynn their dog Ruby and two week old kitten, Sophie, made me very welcome. I went to school with Glyn at St George Girls High for about three months when we were 14 . She came to OZ from South Africa and as her parents did not seem to settle anywhere for long , moved around until coming to England , where she was when I was here in 1970-71.
I went to her wedding to Gwynn, who is Welsh . They have four children , all with Welsh names , but only the youngest, Bethan (23) is still at home. Glyn was a teacher and has just also had to retire , as a result of a case of the extreme bullying and harrassment of her ,by some of the staff at her school. Not a happy scene, but we had a great time catching up and went to a pub for lunch on Friday to celebrate our recent big 'O' birthdays and a nice walk around Harpenden which looked lovely with all the autumn leaves.
