This snip-it is inspired by two things; firstly a song by Martina McBride (I'm a little bit country at heart) which in spite of myself I love. But mostly by 'the Ilkley girls’, AKA the Bridge Club or just ‘my girls’.
The Bridge Club is simply a nickname for my friendship group of lovely ladies back home; Danielle, Amy, Pittsy, Helene, Jess, Hannah, Grace, Ellen and I. I could write endless stories about them: one each, stories, songs, trips, moments, dramas, sayings and more. So it's hard to decide where to start. I suppose at the beginning makes most sense, but that history would take forever. Instead I’ll settle for bragging about them a little. A bit like when I had to introduce ExpressLD, here's 'Introducing The Girls!'
First off, to save me repeating myself all are loyal, kind, beautiful and hilarious. It’s not easy to explain how lucky I have been to grow up with these girls as my friends, but here’s me trying to anyway.
Lets be honest, over the years we have fought like hell amongst ourselves, to the point that quite successfully and justifiably we developed a reputation in our small home town for dramatics. But then again, I don’t really care. I would take every drama a thousand times over to know that no matter what happens to me, my friends are going to be there. From uni stress, work drama, boy trouble, family upheaval to just general chit chat, come hell or high water we are there for each other. Like having a great big safety net of cuddles, giggles and gossip. I don't of know of any other group of friends so big who have displayed the loyalty we have through all these years and ups and downs but still are as close as they were at 16.
So, simply put, love you girlies!
I so wish I had just one photo to put up of us all together!
