Ode to Smuckle

Meet my Smuckle.

The only other Smuckle in the world (Besides me)


The story about how the name came about is far too long to mention on this blog. It involves copious amounts of giggles, patience and time to marinate. The best recipe for friendship is often the type that creeps up on you.

We met on the  first day of university. Just the right amount of determinism (also known as fear of losing and in reality being a sore loser) meant that we got on tremendously. Alas, we lost the freshers competition that we entered but the fruit of our labour was a wonderful friendship that has followed us through the years from London to Trinidad to Madrid and to Zurich......currently residing in London.


Its one of those friendships that refuses to be a victim of time, and is as stubborn and durable as we are.
I possibly couldn't put into words how much I value my Smuckle (of course that is not her given birth name) but I hope that some of the pictures below, that I affectionately call 'me and my crazy' will show some of the wonderful person my Smuckle is.
