Distant Memories

A Memory of Frimley Green.

I had returned to UK from Queensland to visit my mother who was ill and waiting at the platform entrance at Waterloo station when a former colleague from Post Office Overseas Telegraph came up to me and we began a conversation as if we had just left work together, I went with him to his house in Frimley on the Green and met his wife where I found out he was considering early retirement and had a trip planned on one of the Queens to New York and back to celebrate, we downed a bottle or two of his home brew and I left for Eastleigh the following morning, completely forgetting to exchange addresses (mum's illness was weighing on my mind) I am heading back to UK in December 2011 for my eldest son's wedding and will be trying to trace a few old names if I am lucky enough, Terry and Maureen Maynard are you still there in Frimley on the Green Surrey?
