| Sally and Sharon - still smiling. |
Sally and I met in France in 1986. And as is so often the case we meet the right people at the right time in life and so it was with John and Sally. I remember Sally being bemused by the my 'lostness', with our two babies under 18 month, barely speaking any French and they both helped us navigate the foreignness of having left South Africa for Fred to have a work experience in Paris.
It was a special connection for me and over the decades we have travelled back to France to visit and they also came over to South Africa. Here we are again in Normandy and reconnecting, so much has changed for all of us but its a quiet pleasure to sit at Sally's table, to have her cook for me again, to natter, to recall, to update and to stroll arm in arm through the streets of Honfleur.
