Hello. I have not been on GR for a few years now, since my husband passed away. I am on Facebook but am not very interested in it so thought I would come back to Genes Reunited. I wonder if any of my old friends are still on here. I live in Perth WA, am 83 years old now and was born in Walton-on-Naze Essex.I would be very pleased to hear from old friends.

Sylvia :-)

I remember you.

Hello :)

welcome back

Hello Sylvia, I think I remember you. Welcome back. :-)

Never spoke but remember you, welcome back Sylvia.

Carol :-D

Thanks for welcoming me back. I think I remember some of your names. Is there anyone from Essex on here now?

welcome back sylvia x

Welcome back - sure I recall you - sorry for your loss.

Hi Sylvia.
I am from Essex and as a child spent many happy family holidays in Walton on the Naze, now it's somewhere I often go when I fancy a walk on the beach.

Welome back Sylvia

Hallo Sylvia,

Pleased to meet you :-D.

Walton on the Naze is our nearest seaside town and I have spent many years visiting. We often park the car at Frinton, summer and winter, and walk to Walton, pop on to the pier and have chips from the chip shop in town. Its about an hour or so drive from our house :-D

To Teresa

All the best people go to the best beaches

Like you we park in Frinton and walk to Walton

:-D :-D :-D

Good Morning everyone. I am surprised that so many people know Walton-on-Naze. I often look it up on the Internet and watch videos of Walton and Frinton.It doesn't seem to change much, does it? Although we lived in Staffordshire and Hampshire during our married life, I still called Walton home.

Dizzi, I didn't know you were on my Facebook. Are you under a different name and are you a " friend " of mine?

Have a nice day everyone. It is going to be a hot one here today 34C. In case you don't know, I live in Perth Western Australia. :-)

WOW


old memories stirred once again


I worked in a small private hotel in Frinton-on-Sea in the summer between finishing High School and going to uni ....................


that was an EXPERIENCE, never to be forgotten!



welcome Sylvia ..... we've never met, but I'm another Sylvia, and I live in Canada. I also have several friends in and near Perth.

Welcome back Sylvia, my sympathy on the sad loss of your husband.

One of my old school teachers lives in Frinton, he used to rap us over the knuckles with a ruler if we talked in lessons etc, very strict but as he has come back to school reunions he seems much nicer lol He must be getting on now, well in his 80s I would think.

It's one place I have often thought of visiting but never got that far, I am in Norfolk.

Sylvia in Canada.
I worked in Frinton Post Office when I left school in 1945, the day the war ended actually. Which high school did you go to? Not Clacton County High School I suppose, because that is where I went. Did you live in Frinton?
I do remember you from when I was on GR before but I don't think I actually spoke to you then.
Sylvia :-)

Hi Sylvia,

His surname is Floyd but he taught in Norwich at the Hewett School in the late 50's and early 60's, maybe till he retired and perhaps it was then moved to Frinton. He has turned up at several of the reunions, the last one was about 5 years ago but I just looked on 192.com and he still seems to be listed there and no deceased records.

Hi Sylvia,

We are practically neighbours. I live in Australind, near Bunbury WA. Originally from Manchester but will have been out here 30 years in June 2012.

OH and myself are now retired, although not quite at pension age, but not far from it.

Allan :-)
