Just when I thought it was safe to begin blogging again, but no, fate
had something else planned for me. I have been M.I.A. because I
have been in hospital. Poor John had to call an ambulance for me,
the second time in a few months. As I am now John's carer, it
really worries me when I am unable to function fully.
Enough of my problems and on to pleasant memories. In my last blog
post I showed you the card I made for John for our 50th wedding
anniversary last year. This post I will show you some photos
taken of our very happy celebration.
The invitations I made were fairly simple.
I made the candle (battery operated) covers, the place cards, and the
little 'mats' for Rocher chocolates to co-ordinate with the invitations.
I made the cake a month earlier, and every few days I sprinkled sherry
over it. I then iced and decorated it a few days before our celebration.
The knife has elaborate engraving on both sides of the blade, and has
been used for about 150 years by John's family for every significant
occasion e.g. weddings, christenings, 21sts.
For the main meal we took our son and granddaughter, visiting from
London, and 7 dear friends to a restaurant. Sadly, my matron-of-honour,
(and still dear friend) Diane was unable to attend.
After the meal we all came back home where I had
pre-prepared a lavish supper (calorie free of course😁😁😂).
John and I then cut our cake. (unfortunately in every photo of the 'ceremony',
a friend had his arm across the table, blocking the view of the cake).
We had a wonderful night, and hopefully we will be able to celebrate
many more anniversaries together. When we met, many friends and family
members told us we were too different to last more than a couple of years...
how wrong they were😁.
Until next time, thank you for visiting,
Hugs,
Jennifer. xx
