We talked and we talked and we talked - from parenting issues unique to raising twins attending kindergarten (she has twin boys, I have twin girls); to visiting family overseas (she's from Switzerland; I'm from South Africa); to politics! One cup of tea turned into four cups of tea and tea time ran over into lunch time. Earl Grey and Irish Breakfast turned into cups of Rooibos tea. We had so much fun hanging out without the kids!
Now we have lunch set up next week with the hubbies in tow.
