Twenty Two Years

It's our twenty second wedding anniversary today. In some respects it doesn't seem two minutes since we were stood at the alter taking our marriage vows, and then on the other hand, it seems that we've been married much longer. I can't imagine living my life without Mick by my side.


We don't usually do anything to celebrate our anniversary, other than sending cards to each other. Today we've been in to Leeds shopping for clothes with Eleanor. It was a teacher training day at school yesterday so Eleanor and I were going to go then but the rain was so bad that we postponed the trip. I popped in to Cath Kidston as I noticed there was a sale on, and Mick treated me to a lovely bag.


It's unusual for me to buy clothes, bags or shoes for myself, I only own one handbag, so this is a real treat.

  8. Happy Anniversary Jo.
    Such a lovely little bag for carrying lots of goodies.
    The news here is saying how bad the rain is there in your beautiful country especially in the southwest.
    Hope it ends soon or maybe you could send some here!
    Have a great week!

  10. Just catching up with your posts.

    I hope you both enjoyed a wonderful anniversary! That bag is gorgeous, good for you, it's nice to treat ourselves every now and again.

    I studied Gandhi's theroy of Non-Violent action at University. It really moved me and I was lucky to visit some of the areas he lived and worked in South Africa in 2010.

    So impressed that they are teaching it in schools and look how it has inspired the kids.
