The 11th of july 2006 I met a couple(round 50 years old) in a motorhome at a halting-place in the north of Sweden. I understood they were living in Aylesbury.
We discussed places worth to visit. I suggested among other a visit to
"Storforsen" wich is the largest waterfall in Europe. 
I would like to get in contact with this couple by email. I don´t know their names
They had started their journey in the beginning of may 2006 by going to France where they left their 14 years old dog. After that they drive to Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, from the south to the north of Norway, north of Finland and Sweden. The 11th of july they had desired to go to Sorsele. Up to then they had driven 8000 km totally.
Please anyone who recognizes the couple give them my email-address or send me
theirs. (And please excuse my bad English language)

Her husband Peter was serving on HM Submarine Trenchant attached to HMS Forth. They had a 2 year old daughter Linda. We spent a lot of time togelther. We flew back to the U.K. together as the ships were returning for the Spithead Review for the coronation. I lost my purse during my journey to Durham and with it Shiela's address. Very soon after this I ;emigrated to Canada. On returning to the U.K. last year I read in the Navy News that Pete had died. I would love to contact Shiela, she lived in Hemel Hempstead prior to going to Malta. Would appreciate any help.

Bob Busby in the US asks: My pen pal was Dorinda Allen who had written to Dear Auntie Pat for a Pen Pal in 1962. I would like to make contact again. I had a pen pal from England when I was in 5th grade. My pen pal and her school class wrote to a school newspaper or newsletter in England called the Children's Realm, which had a section called Auntie Pat that apparently requested kids to write for pen pals in the United States . These letters somehow made their way to Texas to a pen pal list that my 5th grade teacher read. My teacher passed out the letters from England for us to read and write letters back to our newfound pen pals. Email: BusbyNotes@worldnet.att.net

Her name was Deborah (Debbie) Annette Williams but changed her surname to Stevens. After moving from Wrexham in north Wales she subsequently lived in Leftwich in Cheshire and then Richmond in Surrey.~
Debbie is now married to Justin but I don't know the surname. She contacted me via the Friends Reunited website 18 months ago but I only received the message recently and replied but to no avail. I know she was working for Mercedes Benz in Milton Keynes. I know she lives in Hemel. I have not seen her for 22 years and am hoping you may be able to help me in locating her.

Our names are Arthur and Joyce Blake, and we lived in H.H. from Aug 1953 to September 1966.  We both worked at Rotax during that period and whilst there made friends with Bert Gentle and his wife Joy.  They had two children Denise and Andrew and  they were godparents to our son David in 1964.  We emigrated to Canada and tried to stay in touch but as the years pass (39 years so far) this became more difficult.  Since we have been reading the Gazette on the internet regarding the dreadful fire at Buncefield we found this site and thought we'd put a note here to see if anyone of the Gentle family are on the computer and may want to get in touch sometime.  Have a great christmas and a better start  for our old hometown in 2006.  It was certainly a great surprise to see the "bi-line" Hemel Hempstead on our CBC T.V. last Sunday.Email: joyart@sympatico.ca

We moved from Hemel Hempstead 35 years ago, and as we will be celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversary in March 2005, we are trying to trace two of our Bridesmaids.  We are looking for Mrs. Pauline Phillips nee Holland from Warners End and Mrs. Theresa Chafer nee McCarthy from Adeyfield.
Unfortunately we had a Labrador Puppy 30 years ago, who ate our address book, and we lost touch with a lot of friends at that time.
I am the former Delia Bolton from Queensbury, Middlesex and Crabtree Lane, Hemel Hempstead.  I worked at Kodak, Maylands Avenue and Phil was raised in Belmont Road and worked at  Marconi Instruments in St. Albans.  We were keen dancers and attended the Burton Dance Studio in the High Street, where we met.
If anyone can give us information on Pauline or Terry, or indeed who may remember us from all those years ago, we would love to hear from them.
