Finally......

..... I can post the news I've been wanting to put on for 3 and a half weeks! R proposed to H during their holiday whilst in NZ and she said yes! We are absolutely delighted with the news :) He had planned it all so carefully .......her ring [ designed by R] was made by our brother-in-law in Australia and R collected it whilst they were in Darwin and then he proposed at Arthur's Pass [ South Island NZ] where a lot of the Lord of the Rings was filmed [ favourite story] - all very romantic.
I haven't been able to post the news till now because R hadn't told his work friends and colleagues and we have a number of these in common but as he saw them today it's ok :)
