old family and new friends

Sometimes you just know if you like someone,,it just feels right,,well i felt like that today,,,a long long time ago my mothers brother married and stayed down south,,something in the city,,, and within the appropriate time produced 2 girls and then the long awaited heir,,,and i saw these cousins only a handful of times,,once when i was in my very early teens mum and i visited,,they lived in the commuter belt so london was but a jaunt away,,their father had a yacht and i remember going out in the weekend,,the week was spent in london,,mum and i doing the sights and shopping and carnabay street,a magical week and the last time i remember being with those cousins,,of course there were the family phone calls between brother and sister and visits to uncle from mother in the algarve,,where my uncle took early retirement but no contact with the cousins,,untill today.jen and jude,so many years but there was a connection,,i just knew them,,i knew if we had lived in the same city we would have been friends ,,good friends,,dont ask me why but i just know,,it must be in the genes,,we are all different but all the same,,we all have a bit of nana and grandad hider so maybe they meant it to be,,and i for one would like to stay in contact,,we need all the friends and family we can have,,
