STRANGE MEETING

Many years ago while holidaying in North Devon we bumped into a work colleague of my husband's. We were invited to join him and is wife at their holiday home that evening. We had a lot of difficulty finding the house and very nearly gave up but in the end found them. Also with them was the wife's elderly mother who during the evening was on the point of going to bed when the Thames was mentioned. I said that my father, who had died when I was 11, had worked near Tower Bridge and it transpired that this elderly lady had worked with my father for many years and the last letter she had typed before retiring was to my mother offering sympathy on his death. Really strange, the chances of us meeting up at all, finding the house and the possibility of the lady going to bed before my father was mentioned make this a really strange coincidence and because of her memories, and fondness for my father, very important to me.
