I need your help :)

Five years ago I had a penpal by the name of Craig. We corresponded for a long time. I moved house, was drowning in building work on my new home, life intervened and somehow, we lost touch.

Imagine my surprise today to receive a beautiful card from him, telling me his news and asking if I wanted to renew the correspondence. I am sooooooo pleased to hear from him! But there's a problem: He didn't include his address and I don't have a record of it anywhere. I need to find him so I am looking for help to do so and hoping that he might read this.

What can I tell you. Well, his name is Craig and he lives in Northumberland...somewhere. My small brain can't remember his surname. He's a fountain pen nut (obviously) and he has the most amazing handwriting. I'm attaching a scan of the card I received today in hopes that someone might recognise this.

The only thing is that he was active on FPN but not sure sure about here. I know, it's a long shot but I have to at least try or this guy will live the rest of his life believing that I couldn't be bothered to reply.

I wonder if he might be MrClegg on FPN?

Oh Grainweevil you are a genius - yes that's him. Thank you so much. Now the tricky bit. I don't have an FPN account so can't contact him.

Do you want one of us to drop him a PM to point to this thread? Easy to do.

Annie, after all this, you really must tell us if there's a happy reunion.

It's all in the lap of Jon at the moment. I'm keeping all paired organs crossed. Will report back.

Done. I'll keep you posted if Mr. Clegg responds to the PM.

Thanks Jon. Replied to your PM. Thanks for your help. xx

Annnnnd, I believe we have liftoff - Annie, you should check your email.

[grainweevil]

Ah, well, I would have happily acted as go-between, but Jon seems to have facilitated a reunion. Good-oh.

I did check my email and behold there was an email from Craig! You are a star Jon. Thanks for making it happen. Will spend the morning writing a long letter as we have much to catch up on.

Thank you. It was your brain power that worked out his ID. I'd never have got that far without you. Very pleased that we can now pick up from where we left off.

Very glad to see that that worked out well!
