20 years together

Today is our 20th wedding anniversary. It was a white wedding in that there was deep snow on the ground, although my wedding dress was of red fine cord, topped off with a black hat with a red band. A friend asked whether I'd chosen anarchist colours deliberately. I hadn't.

In that still and settled place, there's nobody but you.
You're where I breathe my oxygen, you're where I see my view
And when the world feels full of noise, my heart knows what to do.
It finds that still and settled place
And dances there with you.

Edward Monckton

We can't afford lilies, emeralds or new china so we are going to have a lovely takeaway curry and a bottle of fizz. Here's to us!
