Forty Years have past since David and Annette decided to leave old England to start a new life in Australia.
David and Annette used to play badminton with us on a Thursday evening in Walthamstow East London.
When they left they sold us various bits of furniture to us as we were getting married in a few months time.
We had kept contact over the years with Christmas cards and they had visited the UK about 13 years ago and paid us a visit one evening. They now live in a lovely home in Perth and we agreed to meet up.
On arrival at Perth airport they greeted us with warmth that made us feel it was like yesterday that we had parted. The smile and laughter brought back memories of our times together.
They told us that for the time we were with them, that we should treat their home as if our own and they said that when we went off to do our trip down the west coast we could use one of their cars.
Friendship is the most wonderful phenomena of being human
No love, no friendship, can cross the path of our destiny without leaving some mark on it forever."
We will remember forever the way that David and Annette made us feel welcome. Thanks.
