It went OK.😉 Though my dog just had to pee on my living room carpet before we left, almost making me leave him behind.🤨 On arrival I phoned the number of the woman who organised it and told me she'd see me into the pub. Unfortunately she wasn't in the pub but at home, having gone home not feeling well after a few hours at the event. So I just walked in and was met by of all people my first girlfriend from our school days in 1976. She'd already had a few, so was quite friendly...and touchy!🙄 😬 I sat with her for a while, before mingling with the others. I recognised about 50 percent of them, asking the others who they were. I took a photo of my old school photo, taken in 1973, to remind them who I was.
Most couldn't remember me by the photo, more by name. The pub was very noisy, due to there being a karaoke on!🙄 I don't think it was part of the event. It's probably a regular Saturday night event in the pub. It was so loud and so annoying as I just could not talk over it, having to write my words on my text service to show to folk! One fellow had travelled up from Cambridgeshire, one from Luton, both quite a fair travel for both of them! As expected we said to those who aren't lihing locally that we'll keep in touch via Facebook Messenger. In fact I've messaged two today saying it was nice to meet up with them after all these decades and to keep in touch. The saddest part of the night was when my first ever girlfriend, the one who greeted me on arrival, said she wished she hadn't binned me all those decades ago as she still has feelings for me!🙄 That made things difficult as on seeing her, I feel the same about her. 🙄 She's going home this Thursday and suggested that maybe we could go out for a meal, before flying back to wait for this.... South Carolina in the USA, where she's lived for the last 38 years, with her husband from there, and their children. I'm now in dilemma territory as I do want to go, but thinking it'll only make parting even more difficult! Maybe I should say it's not really sensible as things might be said that'll upset both of us. Anyway, she's given me her number, asking me to phone her either way with my decision! 🙄 This is maybe why going to reunions isn't such a good idea and we should just let sleeping dogs lie!🙄

I'm still thinking of going. 🤔 More afternoon tea kind of thing than an evening meal, with alcohol involved.😏 I might suggest the Emporium in Clitheroe this Tuesday. https://www.jamesplaces.com/the-emporium/https://share.google/y9asbwZvQde8cJyoa As far as I know, they do afternoon teas, so it's a thought.😉

That's a fair distance she's travelled, just for a school reunion!😬 Though she did say she'll have been here a fortnight, by Thursday when she flies back home. She said she's seen her 84 year old dementia suffering mum quite a lot while here, adding it'll be extremely upsetting leaving her, knowing she might not see her ever again.🙄 OK, her sister, who she's been staying with, lives here in Great Harwood and sees their mother more or less every day she told me, but it's still bad for both daughter and mother, but she's made a life 4,000 miles away over a vast ocean, so that's a price she has to pay!🙄

Edit...She now has a partial southern drawl accent by the way. She said she doesn't hear it when she talks, but I spotted it straight away. I suppose living in 'the deep south' for 38 years makes you forget your east Lancashire accent!😉

Just go for a coffee or whatever with her, be nice to reminisce and talk about your lives.

You both have feelings for what was, not what is. It’s easy to idealise relationships (especially ones of young love) from 50 years ago. Life moves on, as do people.

Yes - it is common to have an idealised old relationship that would never have gone as well as it does in your mind
wonder what happened to that lady I met on holiday in Greece once????

We met, had a coffee or two, then a few glasses of wine which made us reminisce maybe a bit too much. We parted with hug and a peck on the cheek. I'm happy it went well!
