Well, my dears, the male guardian and I did enjoy lunch a deux today in a charming little bistro amongst the glorious architectural city of Bath. You may ask yourself for why, and I will, of course tell, for 'tis our 35th, yes 35th, Wedding Anniversary. Pon my soul, it really does beggar belief where those years have gone; it does feel but the blink of an eye since our wedding day. We wandered at will, after our most enjoyable lunch, amongst the hustle and bustle of this delightful city, full of Christmas cheer. The Christmas market was quite the largest we have seen it, with many artisans showcasing their wares. The large bedecked Christmas tree glistened decorously, sat as it was in front the cathedral. One felt quite giddy with the thought of playing hooky on a 'school night' as such, for we had both taken a days leave from our toil to celebrate our milestone and enjoy time together.
On our return from our travels, we lit the fire to warm our home, drew the curtains against the darkening sky and settled down to an evening of peace and quiet contentment. We have revisited the images of our wedding day kept in a beautifully bound album. There in the album are memories of the day, of our parents now no longer with us, of moments captured for posterity, of joy and celebration in our union, of hopes for the future. We are most fortunate to have stayed the path thus far, with a degree of perseverance and a heap of shared experiences from which to learn. More importantly, our shared values but greatest of all the laughter and warmth of a loving home in which to be happy, for we are simple souls in our little simple country home.
