Deirdre Geraghty

I spoke to my friend Barry on the phone last night. We first became friends in the late 60s and then, for a while, we became a couple, but that was a long time ago. However, we have remained friends and, although he lives in Lancashire, we remained friends and exchanged Christmas cards all these years. These days we chat on the phone for an hour or even two most weeks – long may we continue to do so!
