Quiet anniversary


WE PASS our thirty-fourth wedding anniversary in a quietly celebratory mood. We do contemplate doing something a little special, but decide simply to open a bottle of champagne, bought just for the occasion, and to leave it at that.

We're dining out tomorrow as it is - it's our last-Monday-of-the-month dinner. And with the big day falling as it does on a bank holiday, and a wet bank holiday at that, we decide just to batten down the hatches and raise a quiet glass of fizz at home.

The day itself has been a little anti-climatic, what with doing our regular Sunday household chores, then I whip us up a quick and easy kipper and egg kedgeree for dinner.

I suppose after thirty-four years you tend to take such anniversaries for granted a bit; we rejoice in each other's company every day which I feel is far more important.

Still, next year is our thirty-fifth, our coral wedding anniversary, and maybe, if health and finances permit, we might get to the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland, in Australia.We've been half planning some such trip for at least a couple of years now - it might be quite exciting.

We shall see.

Hearty Congratulations on passing the thirty-fourth landmark - any excuse for a bottle of champagne still suits me!
