I think friends are one of my biggest blessings in life. I feel fortunate to have you for a blogging friend.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004141713017997665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-37509075034023660262007-12-06T15:09:00.000-08:002007-12-06T15:09:00.000-08:00Yes, WL, some friendships do seem to be one-sided....Yes, WL, some friendships do seem to be one-sided. I had two different friends who always had me over to their place for coffee/tea/whatever but would never come to mine. Now, I did have a lovely home so it wasn't that. I eventually moved on but if/when I ever see them, we're still very friendly.<BR/><BR/>Yes, it WAS St Fagan's we went to and I absolutely adored it - even though it was an overcast and drizzly November day. The gardens at the "castle" were beautiful and that's why I'm so looking forward to going back some day but in the spring or summer.<BR/><BR/>I hope to some day return to Sicily, too, as the whole week I was there I was suffering from a bacterial infection which reduced my energy a lot! So I missed seeing some things as I had to rest in the hotel room while the others went out and about.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-26295764510432496652007-12-06T12:01:00.000-08:002007-12-06T12:01:00.000-08:00Great post , Leslie and I think it is Xmas that ma...Great post , Leslie and I think it is Xmas that makes us reflect on these matters. I loved the part about the Church group being quite a wild bunch and feel for you about being regarded as a threat to other women once you are on your own. I have a "friend" here who regards me as a threat to her marriage - I would never dream of being such a thing - and I am sad about it but have realised there is little I can do about it. I am so glad to read about the new friends you have found and was also interested to read about your visit to the Welsh Folk Museum [St Fagans - I presume that's the one?] It's a lovely place and I miss it. Through "Friends Reunited" I refound my best friend at high school. OK, we are not going to be bosom buddies again - our lives have been too different - but we are in touch and do care about each other. Through that site, I've also refound a couple of old flames! One thing I do find, though, is that often, as a single woman, you are left to make all the effort in a friendship- but friendship by definition cannot be one-sided, so sadly I've had to let some "friendships" go. But like you, I am amazed at all the friends I have made online and I hope to meet some of them one day, including you.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-13824054294344487532007-12-06T07:20:00.000-08:002007-12-06T07:20:00.000-08:00Lovely post Leslie.

Usually you can feel comfortable again in a very short time when you meet again but for whatever reason you are not so close as you once were.jmbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563252743976699923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-13130834526226553452007-12-05T20:17:00.000-08:002007-12-05T20:17:00.000-08:004th Ave here we come!4th Ave here we come!Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-14040294534292531202007-12-05T20:09:00.000-08:002007-12-05T20:09:00.000-08:00Hi, Leslie, I finally have time to come over and v...Hi, Leslie, I finally have time to come over and visit your blog. What a nice post! When I met your friends at your birthday dinner (which was wonderful by the way!) I thought what a great bunch of people they were. They were all funny, and well-educated and bright and attractive. I liked all of them.<BR/><BR/>And it's true, the best way to have a friend is to be a friend. so true.<BR/><BR/>Now, Saturday, we're going to "do" Fourth Avenue, right???Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06979114933441527890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14919964.post-56823810659829032882007-12-05T18:31:00.000-08:002007-12-05T18:31:00.000-08:00Yes, I can see that you are a FRIEND in deed.
