Goodbye, And Godspeed

This is Bob's birthday lunch three werks ago, when we went to Gem, the restaurant by Norwich Station. We are with our good friends Peter and Wendy [Peter is a week younger than Bob]
I am posting the picture now because today they are leaving Norfolk to go and live in Cyprus. I shall really miss them. When they moved to our area almost 4 years ago, they came to the Chapel. I discovered we had mutual friends in other parts of the country and we hit it off immediately.
Both Peter and Wendy have contributed so much to the life of our little fellowship.
Wendy and I have lots in common. But at least we have WhatsApp and can keep in touch. And who knows, maybe we will fly out for a holiday, and stay in their sunny new home...God bless you both

  3. Thank goodness for whatsapp at these times, and you'll no doubt be doing video chats too, but yes, you will miss them, a holiday in the sun with good friends sounds lovely.

  4. What a lovely looking couple, and what perfect names I bet they still get the occasional teasing. Hopefully you and Bob will be able to visit them for a little holiday in the future, it would be a shame to lose touch.

    I am sure you will head out that way to visit and it's never ever been so easy to keep in touch as it is now. Love JanF

    1. We asked the waiter to take it - easier than trying to do a 'selfie'
