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? "
It’s sadly a lost art form |
