Congratulations - on your Golden Wedding Anniversary November 14th 2009

It started with a wedding ring, so many years ago,
And now you have a treasure chest that's begun to overflow.
For 25 years of married bliss, much silver did you store,
And then you reached your 40th, with rubies galore!
You have now travelled through life to 50 years of happy wedded bliss
Your treasure will grow with golden gifts, to toast your happiness
But the treasure that you value most isn't jewels, silver or gold
It's the love you have for each other, that has never grown old!

We had a Great Party with Our Friends

Our Philosphy is - don't ever take each other for granted

It's so easy to do this, but avoid it at all costs! Even if you're 100-percent certain your spouse would never leave, cheat, run away or what have you. We love to know we're needed. Saying it is fine, but feeling it is much more fun. 

Show your love for each other in a romantic way  - Take the time to show each other how much you care.

Get a little crazy now and then - Just because you've been married "forever" doesn't mean you can't enjoy a little wild time together. We go to the "moors" its wild and windy there!

Never forget your partner is your best friend and your lover -  As time passes and daily chores get in the way, it can be so easy to just assume that your spouse will love you no matter what. While this is very likely true, don't neglect the little things that really get each other excited. Think whisky or white wine, special touches and gentle caresses. 

Be creative and have fun!

Betty and Don

dons painting

I'm basically self-taught, although i have attended a couple of courses, both indoors and in the wild on the Yorkshire Moors. My painting career started in 2000 when I realized I could use it as a "break" from other work more

Betty's Flowers

I don’t know about you, but I hate spending money for flower arrangements when you think you can do the job better and for much less. more
