In fact, on the first day of school I mistook the other little girl for Carrie when I went to pick her up! The child's name was Corie and they have recently reconnected through Facebook. They don't look a thing alike now! Thanks for the little flashback today!

It was a HUGE piece of furniture with a tiny screen.

The teacher would come out with that big trolley with the TV on it. There was always a delay between switching it on and the screen coming alive - and of course the picture was in black and white! What a great story - they say that everyone has a doppelganger don't they? Like you, I'd love to see what they look like now. I wonder if she's a scrapbooker? Or magnificent knitter - my socks arrived today and I love them! They fit to perfection and I am so thrilled - thank you SO much!debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-6344636904727214922015-08-19T13:04:59.961+01:002015-08-19T13:04:59.961+01:00I really enjoy your stories and tales, such a gift...I really enjoy your stories and tales, such a gift.

One turned up & I SWEAR she was my 'twin'....it was WEIRD......but no-one mentioned.

It is bad enough if another child has the same name as you!<br />TV was so special then. The programme HAD To be watched when it was on. The schools programmes were really great. I used to like watching ALL of them if I was poorly at home and was allowed to lie on the sofa. Oh bliss! It's pouring with rain here if only I could lie on the sofa all day and watch school programmes today. I shall have to resign myself to just this lovely trip down memory lane.

How strange to see your doppelganger in the audience - have you tried a google image search on you then or now to see if the other person comes up? might feel a bit odd?helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879196131617998605noreply@blogger.com
