At the back end of last year, five of us who knew each other at university got together for dinner for the first time in ages. We brought along our respective other halves, and had a jolly evening eating curry in a house in St John's Wood.
Four of the couples live in London(ish, if you count St Albans). The fifth has taken up residence in Munich and, recently, bought a holiday home in Austria. A general invitation was issued to visit them, which I mentally filed as the sort of polite thing people say.
However our Christmas card this year, and then a follow-up email, suggested we really should visit. ChrisC and I had said we were learning to ski (in the snow dome at Milton Keynes), would we like to visit before the end of the ski season and try some real snow?
We consulted air fares, compared calendars, and decided we would. ( An adventure! )
