44 Years today

Well, this was us 44 years ago - not sure why Bill is looking so stary eyed though!  This was the best photo I could find that wasn't in a frame.  The cake has a story.  We were married in Brisbane, but I lived in Goondiwindi, about 400 km away and I carried the iced cake on a blanket on the back seat of the car all that way.  I was terrified of having to pull up in a hurry and having it land on the floor, so I was very relieved when I finally reached my destination safely - there were a couple of close calls though.
We have a few - well, quite a few - more wrinkles and extra pounds these days, but still here and still enjoying life together.  Crabs and oysters for dinner tonight again I think. Have a good day

  1. My heartiest congratulations to you and Bill, Robin, may you celebrate many more together. Lovely photo, and perhaps Bill was just taken a little by surprise by the photographer. I understand the cake saga, we had a rough road to transport my cake too, so much fine 'lace' that could be broken off!! Your frock looks so lovely. I seem to remember having some sort of rouleau treatment like that on a frock around the same time, loved it. Thanks for sharing part of your life. Take care.
