Lost Pen Friend
A Memory of Rainham.
Back those days (1960-1970), pen-friendship was the big deal as Face book/Bebo is today.
I used to have a penfriend by the name of Karen Francis. I am from Mauritius - a tiny dot in the Indian Ocean - and relating to Rainham, Kent simply seemed so far, so impossible. I knew a little about England through my geography class in primary school, more interested because of the history and literature class in college. And now my penfriend Karen was a blessing. She would write about English life, about Rainham, Kent station and college life as well. My writing to her helped me improve my English and actually I got very good grades in my examination for Cambridge University (External). Thanks Karen - whereever you are!
