Anniversary 29

We had a great weekend. Mind you our weekends start Friday so we can spread it out a bit. We forgot to take a photo of our celebration with just the two of us at Botany South Thai restaurant, but hey take our word for it we had a good time. After lunching out and having tea at various places over the weekend we also even got in some swimming at Newmarket, a bit of a change with 50 m and swept up changerooms compared with our local freebie. Anyway Roger was there and able to pass on speed hints. Who knows we may even have a new boarder. Waiting for confirmation as I write.

I just HAD to find some old photos to wind up the youth in the family, (Old gits indeed!) and there they are-

The lovely couple. Saturday morning at 11. Actually the registry office was right next door to the church, so we used the great door. When we went back to Whitehaven (before we went to Nic's wedding) we took an updated photo which I will find.

Then the cast of thousands!

Best man Steve looking very smart on my left. Then later all 8 of us had a great time dining at the very suave Roseneath hotel out in the sticks. here we are cutting the cake that you got bits of. I'm sorry and it was a shame, but there was no way we could have accommodated you kids for the wedding such as it was.

Then after that, off to the only nightclub in Egremont where my flatmate Big Phil (obvious at the back) was a part owner and DJ. After that, a lot of revelling back in our place at Beckermet and very early in the morning we left for our honeymoon in Wales. Probably dressed like this:-

As soon as we returned we got down to domestic things in our first house "ModQ". Hands up those who can remember why everyone called it that.

Having tea in the road outside. you can just see the shiny dome of the Advanced Gas Reactor through the trees. Remember how you nic and Paula used to wait outside the Windscale main gate for me to come out after work? we used to get real milk then from the farm next door.

Well it really does seem 29 years ago now although some of the things we will remember for ever. thank you Nicola and Paula and Jemma for making the years such a wonderful time for us.
