Today marks International Friendship Day. Often we find we're more disconnected in this modern world of social media, when we can ping over a quick text or an email to cancel a meet-up, or vaguely ask how someone is says Lucy Corkhill
Meaningful contact can tend to get thin on the ground. That’s why we’ve thought of 25 ways to help you celebrate your friends and friendship, not just on International Friendship Day but on every day of the year:
1. Plan a special day out with your friend
Contact their partner and arrange for them to take over childcare so you can really surprise and treat your friend. Perhaps you’ll go for a long walk followed by coffee and cake, or a trip to the cinema or an art gallery, or, say, indoor climbing or scuba diving… Whatever tickles your (or their) fancy, just make sure it’s a day for the two of you to be together.
2. Write your friend a letter
If like me, you spent most of your time in lessons at school penning secret letters to your friends, then you’ll likely mourn the demise of letter-writing as much as I do.
