Is it me? Beginning to think it must be 🤔

I have a number of what I term ‘Christmas card’ friends. Good friends from way back who now keep in touch just at Christmas. Time and distance have separated us. Over the past few years I have contacted them by phone as well and we have a lovely long chat and a catch up and they all say ‘oh, thank you Marmight, it’s been so lovely to talk. We must do it more often’ or words to that effect. And that’s it until the following year. The contact always comes from me. A couple of years ago I was in the area where a number of them live which is some 400 miles away and hoped to meet up with some of them but none of the days I suggested were convenient - for any of them. I understand we all have commitments, are ageing and have some health/family issues but had the tables been turned, I’d try to make an effort to be accommodating! I’ll be there again this summer for a big family holiday. Should I try again or just enjoy the time with my family and accept that time has passed, things have changed and just remember the good times we had all those years ago.
