FOWC with Fandango: Girlfriend

Posted in FOWC by

We met at school at the age of 11. Her origins were similar to mine, we were both cockneys from East London. She is four days older than me and we went through the complete school life together. We were split up after the first year in two different classes, but still in the same school and we remained good friends. We were keen fans of football and spent every Saturday afternoon in the season going to a match. We spent a few holidays together, but after school our ways divided. I went to Switzerland and she was still in London, England, but we stayed in contact.

Although I was in Switzerland, she paid a visit almost every year and when I visited my dad in England, I usually stayed at her house. My family and her family also became great friends and the contact was never lost. Today we still keep in touch, both now 77 years old mainly by computer. We have shared many ups and downs but we are still the best of friends.

    • We have been through thick and thin together, although we did not always have the same tastes. She was quite an opera fan and we often went to the opera together, but I was more into modern music.
