Well Martin and I have been married 20 years (a couple of weeks ago – I’m behind with our blogging).
We exchanged some small gifts.
Martin was very organised and bought these lovely earrings and necklace from our friend June with her lovely Goddess Jewels some time in advance. However he wasn’t organised enough to remember to bring them home from work so I got them a little late in the day.
I presented him with handmade stuff. A card using left over bits of felt and a heat cushion I had been secretly knitting.
We had the usual sort of day – I was at work and Martin was working at home but then Martin cooked for me in the evening which was lovely. But he clearly didn’t want me taking photos of him while he was doing it!
We always talk about how our year has gone at our anniversary. Highlight and lowlights. This year we had many many good bits. Our Norfolk Broads holidays were fantastic, as was the liveability conference we went to and both added to our growing determination to change the pace of our lives, to slow down more and to enjoy each day.
Finally those of you who were in Wind in the Willows might remember one of the songs. Martin and I both had going round in our heads throughout our anniversary day:
“20 years, 20 years it’s a very long time
20 years, 20 years for this terrible crime”
Well after 20 years we are celebrating properly later in the year when martin and I will manage to get away by ourselves for a few days.
