When Junior lived here three years or so ago he was best mates with E next door.
In the interim they moved to the country and now he is back here.
Today, E and her mum drove down the street and we were out walking the hound and such a joyful and spontaneous reunion was  a delight to see.
Regardless of how often they see each other I do think they will always be best mates.
