There was yesterday and then today - down day

We had the most wonderful day yesterday in Kent. I quite often found myself looking at each person around the table, wondering and contemplating what was on their minds or what their life was like, outside of this cosy marquee that we were sat under, as the clouds closed in and the winds did not seem to disperse. Everyone, although I probably know factually different, was happy. There were laughs all round, at the expense of others mostly but we were all on common ground. Family, after all, seem to have that gift. Regardless of what the jokes are there does seem to be a connection, an agreement and acceptance that we can all be a part of. The day flew for us all. Before we knew it we had eaten, laughed and cried hysterically when night time arrived. In a way it went too quickly because we all know, as we are leaving and saying our goodbyes it will be a few months until we see each other again. Probably Christmas now, so that will be in five months. That is the way it is though and that is probably why we have so much fun each time we meet...because we don't live in each other's pockets and therefore we appreciate each other more.
