A year in pictures – Day 115

Online friends

I have headed up to Manchester on a work trip and have a brilliant, exhausting and productive day.

This evening I went out for dinner with someone I have never met! When I was pregnant with The Little Miss I joined an ante-natal group on Mumsnet. Over time that shifted from Mumsnet to Facebook and there are still about 60ish women on there who share all sorts of things.

Over time we have had various meets in different parts of the country and gradually we are getting to know each other better and better. Quite frankly I have discussed some disturbingly intimate things with these women, laughed my heads off at things that have happened and shared joys and sorrows in equal measure.

Without a doubt the online world provides friendships of all varieties. These friendships are both real and enduring and I am hugely grateful for them.

Tonight, I got to spend the evening with one of these wonderful women, we chatted like we have known each other for ages, drank wine and ate some pretty decent food. It was a brilliant evening.
