December 23rd 2021 Dear fellow Dereham girl Who would have thought it that walking through a wood in Holton, two random people would have found that we played in the same playground of what was then Church Infants, now St Nicolas, with your mother living in Allwood road. We’ve both landed up here - in… Continue reading Dereham girls
