The Cully's were an integral part of my childhood. Jane was my age and Wendy was the same age as Jo. Our families spent Christmases together and often went camping together too - and the four of us got on like a house on fire.
Jane and I went to pre-school together and she was the first girl of my age who I had a crush on. In fact, one of our first mutual memories is of me asking her to marry me behind a couch! Jane was my closest female friend other than my sister and I learned much from her about what girls wanted and how I should dance and what kind of music it was fashionable to like and that sort of thing. We had a wonderful friendship and I'll be honest, I did feel a little jealous when we hit our teen years and she started dating. Jane is now married and has 3 children. We've lost contact although she did contact me in 2006 to say she'd seen my blog and it brought back wonderful memories.
