Hiya there, I grew up in West Horndon as well....was born in Orsett hospital just down the road,, and spent all of my life there, up til I was about 19 or so to fulfil my dream of being a chef in London, I then spent a year backapacking around Australia, I now call Cairns, in Tropical North Queensland HOME!!!!! When and where did you live there...I dare say you'll know my family, but I won't let on just get, as to who we are!! As I now go under my married name!! Hope to hear from you soon...
