They make me laugh.

Eccentricity. To begin with they like me.

I think loyalty means irrespective of differences of opinion, one just tries to find a way to support the individual.
As I see it, honesty can 'live' alongside other compromises.

I think loyalty too Namsnanny but not blind loyalty. Honesty is important if we’re not in the right.

As I think more about this it gets harder!
Loyalty I think.

Like most I have a large circle of friends and an inner circle of closer friends.
We would often lunch together, have fun, support each other and put the world to rights.
Since covid our communication has been mainly by phone so much more one to one. This has made me appreciate their individual qualities more and got me thinking about the things I love most about each one.
Some listen to detail and show great care, some have a great sense of humour and lift my spirits, some are brutally honest but in a good way. I hope I give some of these things to my friends.
