Thank you very much, kind commenters, for your anniversary wishes. We are fortunate to have found each other and to enjoy each other's company still. Considering that I was only 16 when I first thought seriously about Mr L, I'm glad that I had such good taste... or maybe it was just luck. It's now just over 46 years since our first date. (Amazing, since we're only about 30 now - aren't we???). There was a pretty cake.
There were beautiful flowers - red roses as in my wedding bouquet.
And relevant confetti on the tables.
And a lovely room with a view over the city. And, more importantly, our extremely nice extended family, some of whom got there by trying journeys in much delayed trains, or a car battling through driving rain. Thank you all so much for laying it on and then coming!
Congratulations! A beautiful ring, a lovely cake, and family and friends to help you celebrate......and a nice bloke. What more could a woman want?
ReplyDeleteHa! I should have read your post before I e-mailed you. It looks like it was a lovely party -- I'm so happy everyone made it. Here's to 40 MORE years -- when you'll be 70! ;-D
ReplyDeleteSuch glad tidings and happy celebrations of a loving marriage warm the cockles of many hearts, both close and distant. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteMy cockles are definitely toasty!
ReplyDeleteOoh! What a lovely note to end my catch up of a whole month of bloggy goodness! I hope you had a wonderful time at your party - many, many congratulations! And the quilt! How pretty is that!
ReplyDeleteThankfully my period of 'Life' -lessness is over, having invested in a brand new computer, so I'm looking forward to enjoying my essential before bed reads in peace again.
Here's to many more - posts, quilts and anniversaries!

best wishes to both of you!!!
ReplyDeletei'm not sure what cockles are, but with the weather outside, i am thinking that mine are maybe NOT so toasty...
