Re: (Flashback, March 21)

Imagine my surprise when I arrived at friends for lunch to see the Flashback photo (March 21) on their front door under the heading ‘Wanted’.

Yes, the grown-up in the photo was myself, Val Matthews, wearing the Victorian wedding dress I had worn in 1971. My daughter Rebecca is on my lap and my son Jonathan is the little boy on the right. Both are now in their late 30s with their own children.

When the grandchildren saw the picture I was pleased that they recognised me as Grannyval but they were hard to convince that the little boy wasn’t Will who is now three as Jonathan was in the photo.

I am still an active member of Trinity Methodist Church but have failed to identify any of the other children.

I don’t remember seeing the original photo so it was fun to find it 36 years on.

Thanks for the memories.

Val Matthews,
