An Uckfield-based hairdresser who buried a beach ball on a Greek island 34 years ago has been tracked down with the help of social media this week.

Stephen Smallwood buried the ball, which had his name and address written on it, as a teenager in 1983 while in Malia with his then girlfriend Lisa Morley.

“To be honest I didn’t even remember doing it at first,” said Mr Smallwood, who owns TJ’s Barbershop in Uckfield and found out about the ball through his niece Amy Lister who saw the post on Facebook.
