30 March
Irene

This is Irene. Irene and I were at secondary school together and were best mates! We've only met up three times since we left school some 20+ years ago but still we feel immediately comfortable in each others company - especially after two bottles of wine!!!! Irene is the mother of three boys but she still manages to be loads of fun and look wonderful.. what is her secret? Here's a photo of Irene taken in 1976 (Irene is stitting on the steps). And here's one that Irene took of me tonight.

NB: Elderflower... are you guy serious that you don't know what this is... It's a flowery soft drink - very nice. I'll send you some if you like.

It can be a bit intimidating meeting up with old school mates after all this time. I tend to give them a bodyswerve if I possibly can! Nice shot of a very happy looking 'chum' (do people still say that?)

I know Elderflower, but can't say I'm a huge fan! Nice shot - she looks as though she's putting up a coy protest at having her photo taken!

Hello Irene, any friend of Gail's is a friend of ours. Nice candid shot. Is this before or after the wine?

Next time I get to England I'm ordering an Elderflower in a dirty glass! :)
Sadly elderberry plants are treated like weeds here, makes great jam as I remember.
Hello Irene from the colonies!!

My goodness, you look related!

i agree with Roe, on the beautiful eyes. looking at the picture from 1976 you could totally tell it's Irene. :) and the beautiful smile hasn't changed either, there's a sort of personality in it. so Gail, how come we don't see you in any of the 1976 pictures? :) (besides the fact that you were holding the camera).
Guest 30-Mar-2005 23:32
you both have such beautiful eyes..you could pass for sisters..hi Irene
