Hail to our Happy School days

So our much postponed, planned dreamt up school gettogether is upon us.. Plans are made, tickets are booked,bags are packed. Fortunately, no cancellations only more additions..A very good sign indeed. I'm only a little disappointed that no one's added to my wish list...come on guys..School, Hidden Valley , a roll down the golf links, a visit to the All Saints Church yard (my personal favourite, reminds me so much of Mrs Xavier and Thomas Gray 's Elegy in a country church yard ) Sims Park, dinner at Blue Hills...what else??? Some one called today and expressed apprehensions about meeting after 25 years..will people have changed, she asked.. I don't really think so , I'd assured her...Becoz as you get older, wiser (????) and cynical, we realize that unconditional friendships have always come from your childhood friends.. All these years , it was the long distance calls of old school pals that helped me get thro life..Fortunately, my having relocated closer south,things are even easier and ties are getting stronger..Which is why this reunion has worked in the first place, I guess.. Looking forward to all of you up there in the hills and hours of happy hours together....
