I recently read Corners of my Mind and her walk around Ilam. It reminded me of many many years ago when my friend Denise (known as Twiggy to everyone) enjoyed happy weekend at the Youth Hostel there . We posed for the photo pretending to be posing for a catalogue and laughed at the paper pants Twiggy had with her that came free in Jackie or Petticoat magazine or whatever we were reading at the time.
I lost contact with Denise when we left school and new jobs, new friends and boyfriends came along but I know she went to live in The Lake District. I wonder if she ever thinks about about the days when we dreamt of growing up and following our dreams.

I love that photo of you and your friend. Life seemed to be so carefree back then didn't it?
I wonder...do you ever think of trying to get in touch with her?
BTW I loved 'Jackie' magazine!!
;-)
Hi Sal, I have looked for her on Friends Reunited but she isn't on there. I know her married name so I suppose that I could try and find her through 192.com or something similar.x
Great photo, Rosie - glad I could bring back some happy memories - wouldn't it be wonderful to find your friend again after all these years? Those were the days - loved Jackie and then Petticoat although my Mum didn't approve of the latter I still bought and read it:)
Great photo! xxx
Hi there, I am hosting a book swap over on my blog. It is a permanent feature, which will always be on my blog, it is not a one off, like the rose theme swap I'm hosting. I have listed a load of my books which I am willing to swap, take a look, there may be some you fancy. If you would like to list books which you no longer want, and are willing to swap, just contact me at rosehyacinth@hotmail.co.uk, or leave a comment on my blog, with your name, the name of your blog and the books you wish to swap, and I will type them up and post them on the swap page, so the more and more people who participate, the wider the range of books there will be to choose from, and remember, it will always be there on my blog.
Take Care
Love Melanie xxx
ITS NICE TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL PHOTO TO REMEMBER OF YOUR LOVELY FRIEND... AND THE DAYS GONE BY...
