Lunching Ladies

We decided to go out for a lunch this afternoon.  It is going to be one of the last times we will all be together.  Vas isn't with us as she is enjoying a week in Maldives.  Sue is off to the UK on Thursday,  Kath heading off to NZ in June,  Maureen is heading to AUS in May, and Margaret is heading back to Spain at the end of the month.  That leaves me alone to hold the fort.  Going to be a loooooong Summer.
