Friday 23^rd May

SHE SAID:

We had a busy day today; we met up with my friend Steve. I have known him since the mid-1980’s when we worked together at the Intercontinental Hotel in London. He now lives in Florida but is in the UK for 10 days, as he is a mad keen Crystal Palace football fan & they had made it into the FC Cup final for the first time in decades.

He came down to Horsham for lunch & a catch up; it is probably 10 years or more since we last caught up! He had met Mum before but not Geoff. It was great to see him again.

Once we dropped him back at the station we headed back to Mum’s to drop her off, then it was off to Crowborough to stay with Sue & Al for 2 nights.

Steve came down from near Croydon to meet us.
It is at least 10 years since I last met up with him!

HE SAID:

I had no idea what to expect when I met Steve, but he was a friendly, chatty bloke, and the time over lunch, a beer, and a short wander around Horsham passed quickly.

We then headed off to Crowborough around 4pm for the hour's drive to Sue and Al's. As usual, we had a chatty, fun, evening over a tasty nibbles platter and a couple of beverages.
