Girls Night Out

We finally got together last night - a group of six this time.

Food was 'bring a plate' and, if I do say so myself the table was particularly bountiful! We started with two sorts of dips (a delicious tomato, cashew and parmesan offering with crackers, and Miss R made a salmon and avocado cob loaf dip). This followed through to the banquet you can see in the photo.

Whilst some of us had a walk around the garden make room for dessert, Miss B and Miss S just "threw together" the individual pavlovas which were served to us with all of the professionalism and pizzazz of silver service wait staff :-)

As you would expect there was lots of conversations - some happening at the same time - with a range of topics being touched upon including orgasms, pregnancy, trailers (yes the sort that get towed), bands of the 80's, home made pavers, dogs and our own amusing anecdotes from various aspects of our respective lives. And please don't mention the broken cork in the non-alcoholic sparkling wine bottle! There was the inevitable belly laughs galore :-)

It is such a powerful thing when girls get together - and I am ensure guys have the same feeling when they have a boys night out - to laugh, to 'be', to be accepted, to be able to bounce ideas and fears and dreams off like-minded friends.

We have committed to not let it take so long to get together next time so stay posted :-)
