This is one of my best friends. (Not the girl in the foreground, that’s me!). She’s actually my cousin and a year and a half younger than me.
Growing up we fought like cat and dog and, as we both are the only girls in our families, we are the closest thing we each have to a sister.
She is brilliant and has always been there for me. Besides my small group of actual best friends and my hubby she is probably the one that knows most about me and the one who has been there at my lowest, my hungriest and my happiest. We come from the same crazy family and have been through a lot together over the years.
We are chalk and cheese but there is a strong bond there. The kind of bond that always meets with a massive hug, continues with non stop chatter at a 100 miles an hour and parts with a massive hug.
You can’t see from this picture but I was at an extremely low point in my at the time and she made sure I kept busy. We went out every weekend and ate and laughed a LOT!
(Don’t tell her I told you!)
P.S This is the only photo she’d allow. I don’t like being centre of attention of anything like that.

Sounds like a brilliant friend to have š
So nice to be close friends with your cousin. Didn’t really have that. Hoping that my son will have more opportunity.
That’s so lovely that you bonded with your cousin as so many friendships fade when you move to a different phase of your life, but cousins are always there!
