Congratulations


My ‘phone went off early this morning.  Sarah ‘whatsapping’ me from Australia.  Alarm bells ring when she contacts us out of her regular time slot.  I knew she had gone to a heavy metal/rock festival on Saturday.  What could have happened?  This is the conversation....

"Good morning.  Have you had a great weekend?"
"It was the best weekend...
And I have news!"

She then sent me two images...




I am so pleased for her.  Almost two years ago she was heartbroken after a 13 year relationship came to an abrupt end.  She was bereft but she fought back and rebuilt her life. For Sarah love was just around the corner. I wish them both every future happiness.

  7. Hi,
    IVe just re-read my comment. The gold and diamonds I mentioned weren’t referring to the beautiful ring, buy my meaning was that to a parent a happy child is so very important.
