Friends are like flowers
Each unique in their own way
Put them all together
What a wonderful bouquet

I have blogged about my friends many times and I am lucky to have lots of really good friends. More than I can even try to discuss here but I thought I'd put together a bouquet of some of my friends from the different areas of my life. Please excuse the awful photo shop skills!
Alana - Bridesmaid and friend I met at Uni |
Jemma - Bridesmaid and friend I met at Uni |
My Cousins - Michelle, Leanne and Erin |
My Edinburgh Uni (teaching) friends - Laura, Pamela, Moyra and Paula Suzanne is missing from this photo as I don't have a photo of her and she doesn't 'do' Facebook! |
Alison - We met in my probationary year as a teacher and she has a wee girl who is 5 months older than JC. |
Angela - We met at a Netmums meet up. She has a wee boy who is 3 months younger than JC. |
Lynsey - We work together and she is the social leader of our staffroom! |
Liska - We have children of a similar age, we both blog, both trying to lose weight and have countless other things in common. She blogs at newmumonline |
This post was written as part of a writing prompt by Nickie at Typecast to raise awareness of the CLIC Sargent 'Yummy Mummy' campaign. I hope to get together with some of my friends in March to have a fundraising night for CLIC Sargent as I feel that it is such a wonderful charity.
I can't begin to tell you the "tonic" seeing this post has given me, for so so so so so so so many reasons.
ReplyDeleteI love you my blog friend - only thing I don't like about you is that you live too far away.
I would come and stay with you for the weekend but I am scared of dogs :-(
Liska x
lol! I'll send the dogs to my mum's for the weekend, pack your bags! x
ReplyDeleteAw, what a lovely post Claire - made me feel all warm inside. Friends are amazing and without mine in my life I'd be lost xx
ReplyDeleteOoooh must give this some SERIOUS thought - would your Mum really take the dogs? Be careful what you say as I wasn't joking
