A friend of mine move to Australia years ago, we lost contact, We used to keep in touch by letters, I haven't heard from her in about 10 years, I cant find her on FB or any other site, I don't even know if she has internet access!
That's a real shame, soaps. I am in contact with my cousin Bob in Oz, who I've never met. He is in Queensland, so I've been worried what with all the flooding and 126mph winds they've had in the last few months. Luckily, he and his family have come out of it relatively unscathed.
They had it bad there, I'm glad your cousin is OK.
That must've being strange, talking to a relative you never met! did you go looking for him, or was it just by chance that you hooked up?
His Mum was my Dad's sister. She only died a couple of years ago at the age of 89. He had our phone number and let us know the sad news and whilst we were nattering, we swapped email addresses. Yes, it is odd. We get on very well.
