International Day of Friendship on July 30 encourages building and sustaining friendships both near and far. Core to developing strong friendships worldwide is the hope that of a growing spirit of human solidarity.

I have found so many good virtual friends from starting a 365 project back in 2014.  It is surprising how many from the start are still friends today, whether they have carried on taking a photo a day or not.  Some I have even met up with over the years.

My husband and I have been together for over 40 years. We have our ups and downs but my husband is still my best friend.

To show friendship today, don't go back into your archives to show us good friends, go for your best friend or try to show us someone who you have made friends with recently, be it a new neighbour or someone you passed on the street. Maybe we will still have to be social distancing so don't get in too close.
