Good friends are really hard to get rid of

When we moved to Pietermaritzburg 2 years ago, I really thought we might lose touch with some of our friends or at least see less of them.
That's not the case.
During this July period we were blessed to have had the pleasure of visits from a number of really good friends:
- The Conradie's from Jhb
- Ang and Mard from Signapore
- The Haesloops from Aus
- Sheldon, Nicole, Sam and Sandra from Jhb
- The Ashton's from Jhb
- Justin and Chloe from Germany.
If anything, our time together has been longer and more intense than it otherwise may have been. It also reminds us how loved and important they are to us and us to them.
The only question they are asking now I guess is 'when will they be visiting us...'.
