I was struck yesterday by my colleague Edd’s Instagram post, saying he is living his best life, which according to the accompanying photo, involved him lying on the sofa, reading a book, with a view of his wife (two years yesterday – Happy Anniversary), Carys, in the background. I think it is lovely that his best life is a book (though I should perhaps dig deeper as to which book it is) and a view of his wife. 

It started me thinking (dangerous I know) about what I regard as my best life or more accurately what have been the best bits of my life and it surprised me that although there are things involved, it is the people that make it special. So here are some of the best times I have enjoyed.

Cos you’ve gotta have friends
