Well we’ve made it! 60 years ago on the 23rd February 1957 my Accrington bloke and me were joined together in Holy Matrimony. Hard to believe that it’s 60 years today since we said ‘We do’. 60 years since I was walking down the church aisle wondering what the heck I was doing – and then feeling really sorry for my very nervous (so I thought) bridegroom. Nervous no way, it turned out his trembling was the result of a bad hangover from his buck’s evening the night before…..

Not wanting a big fuss we decided to have a family BBQ (albeit with all the trimmings) on Saturday with our nearest and dearest, about 25 people – a nice number. The sun is due to shine here on Saturday thank goodness, should be about 27 degrees C – it was bitterly cold on that day in 1957, sleet and ice.
