Born on July 14

You remember the song from the first evening the group met, and you know exactly when to play it again.

Their bag for a day out holds plasters, snacks, a spare jumper and a book on local birds they’re itching to use, because they take care of everyone and want to know about everything.

They have a lovely sense of timing, too, knowing when to speak, when to leave and when to suggest pudding. Born on the 14th, they slip between roles easily: organiser one minute, comedian the next.

And when you’re low, they don’t just sympathise; they sit in it with you, and somehow you come out braver than you went in.
