Silver Wedding Anniversary

We don’t seem to be able to remember our wedding date and often when we do, we discover the date’s already gone, but this year we had checked well in advance, because we knew it was our silver wedding anniversary. We spent it camping in France (about which more to follow eventually; R a big let down on write-ups). That evening we sat in the car and looked out at the lashing rain on the widscreen. Far too wet for a bbq, so what to do? We decided to walk into Mayreuis (Languedoc-Roussillon), the campsite’s local village, and ate a pleasant meal in a local restaurant. And, oh yes, it rained as we walked back and dived into our tent.

So it was a lovely surprise when we got home to hear from R’s brother Steve & sister-in-law Marilynn in Canada. They had remembered; most impressive! They said to watch out for a gift in the post. Several weeks into August (we suspect it got held up in the various rotating postal strikes in the UK) a parcel arrived. R waited until the Friday, when S came back from working in Edinburgh, so we could both open it – a lovely silver, footed, International Silver Co dish (brother Steve unsure whether made in the States or Canada) and a gorgeous cut-glass, silver lidded salt & pepper, around 1890 to 1920. Both much admired by visitors. But best of all is that M had cross-stitched a celebration sampler which means we now have one, as well as S&G whose celebrates their wedding, and R’s mum & dad whose celebrates their golden wedding anniversary.
