The Reunion

I hadn't seen John for over 20 years. He is the only school chum that I keep in touch with. he was a mod and  had the scooter with the most chrome headlamps and a parka with fur round the hood. 

John and Pauline spend most of their time abroad and although we exchange Christmas cards saying we must  meet up, us blokes aren't very good at maintaining contact. Anyway, we finally arranged a lunch, prompted by the  passing last year of a mutual school friend. 

It was great. We chose the Three Horseshoes near Watford, part of our old stamping ground. We had so much catching up to do that we finally got kicked out at 4 o'clock. Photos shown of children and grandchildren. Whatever happened to him? questions about old classmates back and forth. Philosophising on life in general.

And agreement to definitely  meet up again in the summer.
