Isn't it a small world? A blogfriend of mine went on holiday [abroad] and on the last night of her holiday found herself sharing a meal table with another Englishwoman. They had quite a few things in common. Then the other lady mentioned she lived in Norfolk. My friend said she knew a retired minister and his wife who lived in Norfolk - but for the moment, she just couldn't remember our village. "It's Bob...erm..." "Not Bob and Angela Almond?" We first met the second lady in London in 1987, and since retiring here we've reconnected because she lives in a nearby town and belongs to the Baptist church there. So two of my good friends have now met each other, hundreds of miles from home.
Somebody recently said that if my readership is that wide, perhaps I ought to Monetise my blog*. I am not sure I want to do that, but anyway here are some waterlilies for you to enjoy...
What a happy coincidence.

DeleteIt is as people say "a small world"! I have been to Giverny such a beautiful garden. Regards Sue H
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely to actually visit Monet's garden
DeleteIt's a crazy small world indeed, and how lovely that friends meet!
ReplyDeleteReally lovely
DeleteThat pun was briliant. Fortunately, I'd swallowed a mouthful of coffee before I got to that point. JC
ReplyDeleteOops! 😉
DeleteYears ago my husband was at the airport in Calgary (3500 km away) coming home from a business trip when he heard a female voice hail him. It was a school friend of mine who lived 50 km from us but was also there on business.
DeleteHow lovely to see a friendly face when far from home 🏠
DeleteIt really is a lovely feeling when you hear of a coincidence like that! Nice for all concerned! JanF
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely
DeleteIt isn't often that when we play the, "do you happen to know" game with a stranger, they actually know your friend well.
ReplyDeleteOften it's a matter of just asking the right question and making the connections. But how do we know which question to ask ❓⁉️
DeleteEarly morning here, just having first coffee, took me a minute or two to get the Monet joke 😂 JennyP
ReplyDelete😀
DeleteWhat a happy coincidence that your friends met quite by chance!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely thing
DeleteI definitely prefer your method of 'Monetising' your blog. 😃
ReplyDelete👍 Who needs great wealth if we can freely enjoy great art
DeleteMonetised blogs can be very hard to read, images and videos popping up all over the place and obscuring the text. Also the jeopardy of accidentally clicking on one of the links.
ReplyDeleteI recently deleted a monetised food blog from my reading list because plonked right in the middle of a recipe were very unpleasant images of bad feet, which I absolutely did not want to see, presumably advertising some remedy for nasty foot conditions.
I reported this to the blog's writer who said once signed up for monetising with whoever she signed up with she had no control over what they advertised or the accompanying images. I don't know how true this is.
I blog because I enjoy it, and have made many friends , I don't want to make money out of other people
DeleteWell said.
DeleteHow lovely for two of your friends to meet like that, away from home on holiday.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it splendid!
