40 years on

Last Saturday me and DH celebrated our Ruby wedding. 19th August 1978 was a lovely sunny day and we got married at our local registry office in Burton on Trent. It was a quiet affair, neither of us wanted the big white wedding but it was a wonderful day. Our honeymoon in Wales started off badly as we ran out of petrol and had to spend our wedding night in a car park in Bala waiting for the garage to open so we could finish our journey but it's a memory neither of us will forget along with the thousands of other memories that we've shared over 40 years. 

I'm still trying to keep up with some stitching and I managed to finish this one, a lovely quick stitch.

Strawberry Sampler by Lizzie Kate.

My latest book which is a lovely read if you like wartime sagas, the next one in the series is
Telegrams and teacakes which I'm eagerly waiting to read.

There's not a lot left in the garden, everything has been given a good haircut in the hope that it might produce a few more flowers before the end of the season.

And the pond has needed a lot of topping up over the past few weeks.

And just to finish off a couple of photos of the cats, Gizmo at the top and Troy  underneath. Neither of them have liked the hot weather so they are both enjoying the cooler days at the moment.

Thank you to those who keep popping by and I'm sorry if I haven't replied to some comments, it took me a while to start getting them through again.

Until next time,
love and hugs,
