Coincidences
 Listen to the item
Joy Peerleff and John Wells cannot believe the string of coincidences that brought them together as friends.
Joy and John only met a few years ago while working on a book for the 'History of Tetbury Society'. While chatting about their backgrounds, they realised that both their parents had been in India during the 1930s. Wondering if they might have crossed paths...on a lark...John searched through his gran's old photo albums and Joy looked through hers - and were stunned to discover pictures of each other's parents in their family albums.
