The silver lining...?

Today is our wedding anniversary.  We've certainly had the sickness and health, and the richer and poorer, and  plenty of better and certainly some worse (especially the last two years of looking after M which would test the bonds of any marriage, however strong).  During 35 years of marriage we've both changed - not always for the better, developed in different ways (I'd never get into my wedding dress now) , but kept the committment the same and faced problems with a united front.  Luckily, such problems as we've had have been for both of us, not caused  by each other. 
A quick trawl through Facebook and Friends Reunited shows me that of the people I shared my sixth form school years, the 15 or so 'girls' I knew, are all married and only one has been divorced and re-married.  We are fortunate that none of us has so far been widowed.  The 'boys' have less fortunate, the majority have been divorced or separated - the exception being the two who married classmates.

Apparently, 35 years is jade or coral - don't see us getting any of either.  We're having a family dinner tonight - fortunately we hadn't decided to go out today as it's absolutely throwing down rain and quite cold.


I took several photos of a beautiful morning yesterday - including silver mist and clouds across the horizon.

Blogger's new photo upload system has taken forever to upload these two but you get the idea. Pity today wasn't so lovely but we'll enjoy the day anyway.

Hope you all have a good weekend, whatever the weather.
