I can't speak to yesterday's gathering - on the Monday it was great to catch up with a number of faces not seen for many years.
Not only was there no axe grinding but some comments evoking sadness, even empathy, for those who had taken a shorter term view of life 20 years ago.
Of particular interest to me was seeing just how well some of the more senior folk have aged so well - enough to put good wine to shame - chaps such as Brian G looked not to have aged a day in their appearance over the years.
Most of us, however, showed the usual expanding waistlines associated with an emphasis on the better aspects of life.
