One of the freakiest things is to see the concept of six degrees of seperation in action. We have experienced it a few times here in New Brunswick.

.

We have some friends (a Welsh couple) who we discovered connections with by accident. The husband went to Nottingham University and stayed in Beeston as a student. During those years he used to go into my Dad's shop almost weekly. The wife's best friend was a dentist in our last home town of Horsell (there were only two dentists in Horsell)..

.

Yesterday we were invited to a party by one of my new work colleagues. While there we met his neighbour an English lady from Suffolk. It turns out that I had met her husband in 2003 while we visited Fredericton and both he and I were born in Redruth Cornwall (tiny place)....

.

ALSO just to top of the weird evening. My host's wife had an Uncle in the UK who lived just outside Woking (yes you guessed it Horsell) but even weirder .....We lived at 69 Meadway Drive and He lived at 57.... and our eldest daughter used to stop as she walked home from school and chat to him.

.

Now tell me that is perfectly normal and not in the slightest spooky!
