Fifty Two Years Ago Today....

[Poppy]

.... I met my wife Lesley.

We married in 1968 and are still (despite all the jokes ) blissfully happy.

Congratulations, Poppy. I take it that you married a much younger woman.

Thank you all for your good wishes. Unfortunately I'm smitten with a particularly nasty bout of  manflu, which I caught from SWMBO! She won't tell me where she caught it though......

Many congratulations to Mr and Mrs Poppy - how wonderful to have been together so long. 

[Broadsword]

Well done both of you!  We're a few years behind!!

My wife and I met on bonfire night 1966. We were inseparable for 50 years and 18 days and married for 45 years 6 months and 8 days.

After invasive and extreme surgery 4 years ago we really thought that we would make the 50 years but cancer is a very clever illness that twists and turns, lies low and strikes once more when you think you have the better of it.

I can't even begin to contemplate such sadness....
