[Gayle]

Before we moved to Fielding Lane when I was about 8, we used to live on Brecon Avenue, as I think I said earlier.

When my friends older sister got married (I think I was about 19 at the time), she got married to someone called Allonby. When I was doing the research for my Mum and Dad's house I discovered that there were a family of Allonby's on Brecon Avenue so I checked it out and they were the same family. I hadn't connected the two as we'd moved out of Brecon Avenue when I was so young.

A few weeks ago, I put a picture in the paper asking for information about a photo that had been 'found' in a camera. Guess who should ring up to give me some info, but Mrs Allonby. As soon as she said her name I asked if she was the Mrs Allonby from Brecon Avenue, she was and we had a bit of a chat.

Very small world - Ossy!
