WHAT a difference 40 years makes.

That was what four brothers found when they reunited and recreate a childhood photograph near Kington.

Paul, Alan, Chris and Antony Williams, who all originated in Lyonshall, returned home for their mother's 86th birthday recently and decided to recreate a photograph while walking on Hergest Ridge.

"Alan lives in Australia and hasn't been home in 20 years so it was quite a surprise as we didn't know he was coming back," said Chris.

"We had a lot of catching up to do and one of my brothers had this photograph so we decided to recreate it. We're slightly bigger now than we were then. When we were standing we thought we might not be in the right places but one of my brothers was 14 in the photograph and has grown a bit since then."
