FIFTY!

Fifty years ago we said to each other "We will!" and so we have. Our wedding program had a quote from St Paul. "Heirs together of the grace of God" and so we are. Other couples have been disjointed by adversity, but we have been driven together and have found strength in God's grace.

In his wedding speech, Anne's father boldly spoke about the lion and the lamb lying down together, much to our embarrassment. I didn't know who was meant to be whom! It's been more like two lions trying to get together...

No, I joke - I know who is the lioness.

We spent most of our anniversary day trying to communicate with the family (quite appropriate really), unfortunately without success. We hope you received a birthday message from us Annette as you enter your fiftieth year!

However we did manage a great celebratory dinner at a special restaurant ( The Tuscan Grille) at the stern, overlooking the wonderful lights of Singapore. We were supposed to have left at 6pm but there was trouble over missing passports so we left late evening.

Much love to you all, and especially to our wonderful daughters and grand-children. Thank you for your support!
