In my teens I had a pen pal

I did some advert in , if I remember rightly, smash hits and got a few replies.

Tall, gorgeous Irishman, who I wrote to for about two years.

This is what it’s come to - remembering pen pals from yonks ago

I double dare you to find him for me

Seriously, no thanks - I couldn’t even remember where he was from, but I do recall he liked to draw pictures in his letters

Funny what comes back to you when you feel a bit melancholy

Diagonally Parked in a Parallel Universe

Wow, this thread jogged my memory of my school pen pal. She was from Ulm, in Germany, and was called Gerda. She sent me a photo and was gorgeous. She also sent me a cassette of her favourite band. I played that cassette until it could no longer be played.

The band was called Blutgruppe. I've just Googled them and found the album she sent me.

I often wonder what became of her.

My first girlfriend started off as a penpal

Well, she started off as being just my friends sister really, but when I went to Uni, she said send me your address, I'll write to you

Let's just say it didn't take long before she went full on saucy with them letters

It's nice to reminisce! I've never had a pen pal sadly. Well not a proper one. There's something so wonderful about receiving a handwritten letter isn't there?

Mine was from Zimbabwe or somewhere. It was probably just another school from down south
