Teresa Bestard Perello Visits Noddyland, 13 April 2024

We hadn’t seen Teresa quite literally for decades. Teresa used to work with me. I don’t write up much work-related stuff on Ogblog, but the following is probably my favourite story on the blog that relates to Teresa…not least because it also has cricket in it:

But somewhat out of the blue, a few weeks ago, Teresa got in touch to say that she would be making a rare visit to London and the timings worked for her to visit Noddyland for tea.

How very civilised.

Janie went to work immediately on the matter of home baked cakes…

…she called Cafe 11 up the road and ordered a huge chunk of lemon cake and a huge chunk of pistachio cake.

Top method for ensuring that you offer the highest quality of baked cakes.

It was really lovely to see Teresa again, after all these years. There was a fair bit of catching up to do on where life had taken us all, but we were soon able to move on to trying to put the world to rights:

One afternoon wasn’t quite enough to solve all of the world’s problems

The afternoon whizzed by, then Teresa went off to have an early evening meet up with her son John. As Teresa said in her note this morning, which Janie and I echo:

Let’s meet up again, before the next 25 years!!!
