Sometimes when I look at this old black and white analogue photo of four of us on the beach at Ballyferris it's as if time stands still. But this was possibly the last meeting up of these four friends before life moved us on and separated us from that silver sanded coast ...the bit of heaven called Ballyferris.
Years have gone by and often I have wondered where they are...or even if they are any more.
Sandy now lives in Devon to be near her children and grandchildren. This I knew as we had kept in touch over the years. But because of the "Story of Ballyferris" travelling much much further than I could ever have imagined...recently I was overjoyed to discover that Vicky..now Vikki... has been as keen to find me as I was to find her. A mere few thousand miles stretching over sea and land and linked by the wonder that is email, Face Book and Instagram...we are able to communicate again and catch up on the lives lived and places travelled to....western Canada for her...and the exotic streets of Penketh for me.
Sadly John...who moved to Australia..has died, but Vikki keeps contact with his family.
And so the earth goes round.
And so we move forward.
