And wouldn’t Maggie & Kay both be SO pleased that their grandchildren met & that the relationship forged through letters, continues. Lovely photo.

Wow, that’s really special, Ruth! I’ve just been back to refresh my memory of the long family friendship – how wonderful to have Kay’s grand-daughter with you! Hoping you all have a great time together, and this link endures. Have you ever done anything with the letters?

How wonderful! They would ever have guessed that the friendship would continue through the generations.

  I know, all a bit surreal! But surreal in a fantastic kind of way.
