My husband and L met when they were ten or so when L came to New Zealand after his family transferred from the U.K. My husband was on the front of the school's prospectus, and L remembers looking at him and thinking, 'there is no way I am going to a school with kids like that'. But they bonded over their insane sense of humour, and almost 20 years later, their lives seemed to have reached all of the same milestones, at the same time.
When my husband rang L up to tell him he was going to propose to me, L announced first that he had proposed to E; their wedding, was almost exactly one month before ours in snowy Dorset. And, when my husband, two years later rang L to tell him we were having a baby, L jumped in first to announce that he and E were expecting. Funnily enough, it seems that without even talking about it, they do everything at the same time even though they are worlds apart.
We were very happy on Sunday to catch up with Tony & Denise, L's parents for a lovely French breakfast. There's something very special about introducing Maxime to people that mean so much to us. We just can't wait to meet Freddie.
