The wine is coursing through you and through your friends but not down into the tributary of political discourse that can end up in an almighty row, but down the waterfalls of laughing memory.
Long forgotten stories and cackles emerge of times past while grand plans are made for the future still to be lived.
Sharing bread, barbecues and those generous anecdotes - the simple gentleness of caring for the people you love.
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
~~ C.S. Lewis
