The Nells

What ever happened to adrian gawain and christopher Nell (Parents Jack & Pam)They moved into the house next to ours(11-12) and we started fighting from the first day.... always unfairly .. 3 against 1...Until we became the best of friends even removing the fence between properties so as to have direct access

Hello Alfred
I remember the trip,we were the only sparkies who passed ,not passed out ,or did we pass out ,i mean from being pissed.hee

.Remember the small merc bus we went up in. It was a bus used for the town route and was very uncomfortable.It also took forever to get there and back.I am hoping to visit soon and will make contact with you when i"m there.
Best Regards
Mark
