A thought on phone calls this time.
We’ve had some special conversations recently with friends far and wide. For all of the benefits of email etc, there is something about being able to chat to people too.
So it’s been great to catch up with:
K in the States
R who’s been teaching in Asia
and G and S in Musselburgh, up the road from Edinburgh!
I’m not very good at picking up the phone, I have to admit, so I’ve been grateful where others have pre-empted. It’s particularly good to chat near to Christmas time, and look at what’s been happening for each other over the year.
We noticed that some of the first people to respond to our email about the blog were those who were outside the UK, so there is something about keeping in touch long-distance. We hope we can keep it up via the blog at least in the coming year, and hopefully add in some phone calls too.
