I married my husband, best friend and soul mate. And unlike many couples, we’re still together. What a ride it’s been!
Two children – a girl and a boy and three grandsons, a step-granddaughter and a step-grandson.
Lots of ups and downs as I’m sure most couples go through but we’ve stuck it out and have made it to another landmark event.
In June 2000, to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, we renewed our vows in the Mount Zion Church, Quarriers Village, Scotland with family on that side of the pond – some we’d met previously, others it was the first time. This picturesque village was formerly The Orphan Homes of Scotland where my father and four of his nine siblings were raised.
We’ve been to Scotland before this trip and again since then but this trip is extra special… and why not?
A recent health problem has made us realize that we need to do the things on our bucket list while we’re still fit and able to do them…
In 2013, I hosted the Scotland launch for my debut novel in the Rannes Hall, Kennethmont – the parish where my father was born and baptised.
In 2014, we toured Paris in the spring, Niagara Falls and Quebec in the autumn.
This year in celebration of our 40th? Oh there are some things in the pipeline but you’ll have to keep visiting this space to find out where we’re off to and when.
