This was the best and most exciting part of our trip, one which Holly, Stacy and I will never forget. Holly's father was Raymond E. Talman of Willits, California, USA. Her grandfather was Sidney P.S. Talman of Aldershot, Surrey and her great grandfather was James Talman of Ipswich, Suffolk and he lived in Aldershot with his wife, Holly's great grandmother Florence Talman (formerly Stonehouse). Thanks to Elgar and Julia Hay for your kindness and warm hospitality, and getting Girlie and all the other relatives together for our visit. Thanks again Elgar & Julia for everything. We can't thank you enough.... read more
