Patsy Gregory and Carol-Ann Krause have been swapping letters since 1955
A pair of pen pals have finally fulfilled their 'lifelong wish' to meet in person - 68 years after they started exchanging letters.
She said: “It was quite emotional, it was lovely. I recognised her straight away, she looked just like her photograph."It was just as though I’d seen her last week because we’d known of each other for so long.” Patsy said: “In the girl guides, I happened to get Carol-Ann’s name. We started writing and we never stopped. It’s as simple as that.
“We were just sharing news, as you would with a friend next door. We sent a lot of letters - at least one every two months - so easily over 400 letters per person." “We both had three children. It was just things like that. It was just as though I knew her all my life, but we just never met.”
