In 1994 I was visiting my brother in Paris for the first time with my son and my daughter who had just done her final exam in school. We were sitting on a train going in to the city, and sitting across the aisle from us was one of her teachers, from Hunters Hill school in Sydney.

I was talking with a friend of mine, Rhymin' Simon one day, and we discovered we had lived in the same small country town for several years when we were small children, but had never met.
