A photo of a young brother and sister from Cornwall has been reunited with them after unexpectedly appearing more than 300 miles away in a charity shop in Lincolnshire. Chris Kirkum, 32, from Holsworthy, Devon, and his sister Jade Kirkum, 30, from Bude, Cornwall, were captured in the photo when they were students at Bude Junior School.
After many years, the framed picture resurfaced in an Age UK shop in Boston, Lincolnshire, where it caught the attention of Chloe Poole, a local administration assistant. She shared the photo on a Facebook group dedicated to unique charity shop finds, leading to Ms. Kirkum being tagged by someone she had attended school with.
Upon seeing the post, Ms. Kirkum expressed her disbelief, stating, “I clicked on the link and couldn’t believe it, it was us, it was the most bizarre thing.” Her brother, Mr. Kirkum, also found the situation unexpected, mentioning, “I was doing the washing up when Jade showed me the post. I couldn’t believe it, a photo of us from primary school, just sitting there in a shop hundreds of miles away.”
The siblings are grateful for the power of social media, as it played a crucial role in the photo’s journey back to them. While they are unsure how the photo ended up in the charity shop so far from their hometown, they suspect it may have been donated by a family member. Ms. Poole, who facilitated the photo’s return, expressed her happiness, stating, “I’m just glad she got it back. Photos hold so many memories.
