Chris Head Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Arrived back to our teeny hamlet from the concrete jungle having bought grass seed to a chap leaning over his car looking as if he was 'waiting' for something/someone.The French number plate raised alarm bells (those in the know will understand)...I'm out of the car and there like a shot asking what's the problem?The couple turn out to be delightful, they've bought a house here and can't find it! They were only twelve clicks out, not too bad considering they'd travelled halfway around the world to get here, the bizarre bit is that they are forum users (no names), how did they find their way to our tiny bit of in the middle of nowhere? She knows me from the forum and I know her/him/they!The co-incidence is just too great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 It's incredible how this happens. I got to know a couple who farm near us because she, like me, has dobbins. And yes, it turns out we went to the same school.Presumably they have found their house by now, Chris, whoever they are? Come on, own up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOther Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Maybe it's Karma........................!My bizarre moments:Whilst in Dubai a few years ago my wife walked into a major hotel to use the loo and in there met somebody she'd been on a training course with in UK a few weeks earlier. Neither knew the other had any plans to visit Dubai and this was my wife's first and only time there.After knowing my best mate's father in law for well over 30 years a chance comment just a few month's ago revealed that his brother lived in the very bungalow owned by my parents having bought it from my mothers estate when she died in 1968 This is in a town of some 60,000 BTWWhilst clearing out an old shed at my current UK property I discovered a newspaper from 1930 something but dated the exact same month and day that I found it................now that was spooky because I had put off that job innumerable times over the previous about 3 years.I have a feeling this thread could run and run.............[:D]Incidentally Chris, if you haven't already you might like to revisit this thread : http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/906706/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoddy Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I shan't be in the cafe this week, Chris.

Tony F Dordogne Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Twinkle, we're not the only users of this Forum that meet there and we talk about gardening, places to eat, families, visitors, what's happening the following week, which artisans you can rely on - anything you like EXCEPT the Forum, no reason to talk about it really.I wont be there either this week, off to the big gardening fair in La Bugue.
