Anniversary thoughts

As our anniversary falls on a weekday this year, our plans have been a bit sporadic. We started celebrating over the weekend with a day trip to London to see our chum, Lucy Briggs-Owen, in the fantastic West End production of Noises Off.

The show was hilarious, and we were ever so proud of Lucy, who did a superific job in the role of Brooke/Vicki. Here she is outside the theatre, in front of the giant poster of herself!

The DEB and I love our days out in London, which inevitable include a stroll and a meal in Covent Garden. To be honest, being anywhere, together is a treat and a celebration in itself!

On today, our special day, we've spent a lovely, leisurely, sunny morning together, with cards and pressies (a beautiful pair of pearl and diamond stud earrings for me; a pair of pewter cufflinks for him!) and a champagne brunch out on our sunny deck. All this before the DEB rushes off for a business meeting in Sweden!

Our celebrations over the coming weekend, which is of course, Jubilee Weekend!
Barford is gearing up for high-spirited festivities, and I am of course doing my part. More on that a bit later!
