The Good Friday Tradition

Lucy – Ahhh… The memories of the Good Friday Annual Lunch with the boys. Unfortunately we are not doing one together this year as it is sooo close to the big adverture.

Where to start this story…… I suppose at the beginning would be a grand idea. We didn’t know each other that well & were going on a lunch with the divine Miss F, who promptly cancelled & left the four of us to get to know each other… I don’t think she realized what silliness lay ahead & how we would become such great friends(I think it was destined by the stars). Our first lunch (previously written about in blog “Much too Old To Party All Night…Who Knew) was a grand affair of Comos & breaking bread as well as Wine bottles. All followed by falling in the bushes together… Yes friends, it was obviously a friendship match made in Heaven. Anyway the Annual Lunch was born that Good Friday!

 Luckily I don't have Pictures of the first Annual Lunch.... But fear not there is plenty of the years that followed!!! Are you scared yet Andrew???

Good Friday 2010

We didn't quite make it to Easter 

Instead we had the Annual lunch early in Bali

I always knew you were full of hot air

Ahhh the memories.

& many more Easters together I hope.

What are you up too for Good Friday Campers....

Andrew - Talk about a photographic trip down memory lane! I can't even remember some of these events let alone have proof that they actually occurred.

You are right though, the four of us do love a good Good Friday lunch. 2 bottles of Mayfield Sparkling to start thanks very much and 3 out of 4 of us shall be having meat. Naughty. While the Catholics are at Church at 3 o'clock we are generally attempting to get ourselves into a cab or out of a bush. Ahhh the memories indeed! Do you remember the 2007 lunch well? That's when Gusband cooked spatchcock - you and I thought that was hilarious! Who wants some cock? Too childish for words.... if only.

This year Gusband and I are being very quiet and sensible, we have so much to do before we head away that we really should attempt to cross at least one thing off the list. Actually, where is the list?

More than likely Gusband will be in front of the television and I will be in the bath with a book. There are bubbles in the fridge so........ Call me later when you're drunk.

Jesus died on Good Friday campers which I don't think is really very good at all, for him at least. Spending it with Lucy and Sawusband has always been GOODer. xx
