Had a visit from six friends from my old writers’ circle in Warminster. The Warminster Circle started in my front room when my husband and I retired to a bungalow in a small village six miles from Warminster. It flourished and grew and when we left the area and moved to Sussex it continued to do so. Each year they hired a coach and came for a day by the sea with us and we travelled to Wiltshire for the circle Christmas Party in December/January. I am proud to be their president and have made many friends among the members. Happy, happy memories. I am reminded of something my father wrote in my autograph book when I was in my teens:
Make new friends, keep the old, the new are silver, the old are gold.
