I knew Doris when we were both tots and living in Lime Tree Ave, Tile Hill. She may have been just a little older as it looks as if she was married before I was. If you are out there Doris, I hope you have been as lucky in life as I have.
Good luck Dougie. I hope you can catch up with her, and it is so true - you can take a girl out of Coventry but . . . ![]() |

I am more than sure we used to live at 42 Lime Tree Avenue, and my father used to nickname me Leslie Welch because I had a good memory, so I am hoping I can be of help to you there. Again, I am sure Doris lived over the road and just a little way further up there was little shop on the corner - Taskers. Not there now though. There were so many 'little shops on the corner' in those days. Now there's an introduction to a new topic. Who remembers the little shop on their corner? |

She is keeping well, told her about you and you're still going strong. |

We were the Toselands who lived opposite in those days and the Rices or rather the father ran a milk round from his home a little further up from the Collins. Billie and Margaret Rice being the brother and sister. A Mrs Neal (her daughter being Christine) ran a sort of day care nursery just a few houses away from ours and I attended there before starting school. he world is definitely getting smaller Dougie. Thank you for letting me know and I am so glad she is well as I sincerely hope you all are in this maddening crisis. ![]() |
