No. Otherwise I'm having the 5 years BEFORE we got wed too, making 26 years in total.

Sob!

12 months ago I posted on here that #1 son didn't quite get the A-level results he needed to get him into his first choice uni to do Mechanical Engineering and he decided to re-sit the year.

Well, it seems that was a good decision, as he's just got his results and improved them such that he's now been accepted!

Congrats AH Minor!!

Aye, congratulations to all who made it through the examinations. Now the real work begins.

As far as wedding anniversaries are concerned, well, you are all still children. If we both make it then come late October the missus and me will have been hitched for 45 years. The numbers don't matter though. Every wedding anniversary is worth a celebration. In our case I try to buy a single yellow rose, put it into a fine vase and place it on the dining table for the duration of the evening meal.

I have just spent two days walking the "Saints Way" - a 30mile trek across the full width of Cornwall from Padstow (pronounced "Padstow") to Fowey (pronounced "Foy".) With a couple of large deviations due to farmers buggering up the wayposts and sending me off in the wrong direction and a detour for an overnight stop (in one of those old shepherd's huts on wheels) - it was actually (I reckon) about 35miles... averaging about 17miles each day...

I have to say it was a painful slog for someone who didn't do any preparation - and 17miles a day doesn't sound (on paper) to be THAT far!! but it turns out it IS far - epsecially when it is basically an obstacle course of stiles and farm gates and ankle deep muddy cow-trampled fields!

anyway - happy thread because whilst I ache to my very bones - and now walk like a pensioner who did have a zimmer frame and was subsequently hit by a bus... it is a satisfied and fulfilling ache!! and there were compensations - such as this view as the sun dipped lower and the shadows began to lengthen at the end of day 1...

(the other compensation was - with no internet or radio or telly - I totally missed the wimbledon game and result!)

[clapton is god]

Mmmm, lovely! And 17 miles is a very long way!

Barbed wire apart, it's just short of Elizabeth Bennet.( I can see Longbourne House way down there in the hollow.)

Happy ? Angry ? Both ? This thread, politics thread ?

Anyway I AM happy that today the papers are reporting that the bravery of a few combined with terrific good fortune led to a failed attempt at a terrorist massacre. It could very easily have been a report on 40 or 50 innocents killed on a train between Paris & Amsterdam.

Fortunate maybe but great full that the headlines are what they are.

Just waiting for someone to suggest they went a bit OTT by beating the terrorist unconscious, you know what about his 'rights'?
