While Mr C was at a work event this evening I met up with some dear friends for dinner in London. It's the first time that we've managed to catch up this year, but just an evening together makes me realise just how important friendship is. (All the two for one vouchers at chain restaurants that are freely available on the web at the moment also help the dinner out stretch a bit further than usual!)
When busy at work I can be quite bad at making time to see friends, but it really is so, so worth it. I just need to try and do it a bit more often!
I know exactly what you mean. I met up with three friends for a meal a couple of nights ago and we had so much to catch up on. We decided to do the same thing every month from now on.
