holiday meetings

On holiday in Yorkshire we decided to travel on the Settle to Carlisle railway. There was only one other couple on the platform so we passed the time of day with them, noting that they were southerners too. Next day on a country walk we met the same people and the man said that he recognised me as being from the library in our home town and that he worked in the council offices next door to it. We are from Kent and they had never been to Yorkshire before. On holiday in Malta we met another couple who had arrived on the same day. They were our age and exchanging details we found that we lived three miles apart, had married on the same day, both the husbands had been in the RAF and we both had 2 children born in the same years.....for both couples it was our first visit to the island; we are still friends.
