during www2 - were you called ''Blackie''

We had many summer holidays in this lovely village. My aunt and Uncle had moved here from Danehill, and lived firstly in the Reading Room. Jimmy Edwards lived in the village and he often opened the gymkanas in the summer. My brothers used to stay with the Auntie and Uncle, while I stayed one year with the Griffiths. Who owned the Farm machinery place at the fork in the road just on the edge of the village. A lovely young couple. I remember they had a little girl younger than me. Also alovely lady who came in and helped with the house, who was very kind. I peeked into the office one day and watched the secretary typing, I was fasinated and when I grew up also became a secretary! For three children who lived in London Fletching to us was Heaven! Now in our 60's we all three have very vivid happy memories of that time. A very tall blond chap who had the nickname 'Blackie' was a friend of the family. Does anyone know/remember him?

Dear Helen,
I have just read your "Memories of Fletching" and since I lived and schooled at Fletching, even "sang ?" in the church choir for some 7 years, I love opinions of the village, however there is much, much more that might interest you? each MAY I organise a school reunion, and we have about 60 people attending, not everyone schooled there, but some of those that did are brought to their reunion by husbands, wives, or friends, you are most welcome to join us with your family and friends next MAY, for there are bound to be people there that you knew, and a display of photographs is put on in the Reading room, perhaps you are on some of them. If I can have your address or phone number, I could let you have much more detail, I am on "Friends Reunited" should you know that programme, and I have a website "http:/platedesigns.googlepages.com. I know the family who owned the Blacksmith's Shop prior to the family GRIFFITHS very well. I do hope that you will contact me Helen my phone is 01494 562253. Kindest regards, Dudley Martin.
