End of April

We are getting used to our lovely new luxiourous carpet - Douglas now enjoys sitting on the floor with his back leaning up against the sofa, and Billy, when not sleeping on the arm chair, the rocking chair or eating, can often be spotted full stretch anywhere in the lounge, smiling.

Douglas has had a few episodes of being poorly, but its better now thank goodness.. His mum has been quite poorly in hospital.. but shes recovering as well which is good.. my Uncle has had a couple of heart attacks and had some operations to open up his arteries a bit.. and next doors little white dog has also been poorly, but hes home and much better too!!

Now we are looking forward to a few days away to celebrate our 10th FirstHandfasting Anniversary! It gets a little confusing to explain to people why we had three ceremonies in a year.. but basically..

May 1st 1999 - Handfasting Dawn, May Day (Beltaine) Glastonbury Tor, married for a year and a day.

May 7th? 8th? 1999 Registry Office in Gretna.. that one lasts for life...

June 19th 1999 Chalice Well Gardens, Glastonbury, we wrote our own ceremony, had a beautiful colourful Handfasting Ceremony, and got married for ever and ever (and a day)

How soppy is that? :-)
