Today is our 37th Wedding Anniversary..so we exchanged cards,and usually I get some flowers..nothing forthcoming..so we had breakfast,and just thought he hadn’t bothered this year..no problem,as I knew we were going out for lunch,so that would be nice….and then,I got this..:o)

Want to see?..Oh WOW !

I have been complaining about my old camera for ages,and seem to delete more than I take..I am so excited..it has a large viewfinder..as my eyesight isn’t good..and hopefully,blue will look blue,and purple will be purple..no more white bits on pink flowers…but that could be my photography..Lol…It is on charge at the moment,but can’t wait to use it..and the nicest thought was,because we are going away for a few days,next week,and we have a day out included to The Eden Project…What a lovely day I am having so far…and a caring hubby,to share it with. :o)

Congratulations on your anniversary. My OH always says I'm the best thing that happened to him and I can say the same about him. I think these are thoughts you share for each other too. Have a lovely day and a great weekend. Remember to take the charger with you as well.

Congratulations from me too,wow that is a lovely present (better than flowers).We will be seeing lots of great pics from you..looking forward to them..have a great few days next week..:o)

What lovely comments from you all,and thank you from us both,for all your good wishes..they are very much appreciated..We have had a lovely day..a superb lunch(and pudding !) and went over the border to Lancashire..no passports needed...weather was lovely and we had a good walk by the river..The new camera has been well tried out today..and I am so pleased with it..I can see things so much better with it..I will write a blog with pics later...it will be great for the Eden project..sadly,we haven't a trip included for Heligan,but that will be a good reason to visit some other time,as it is only a five day break...oh BTW,San,you asked what I bought Russell..I'm ashamed to say...nothing ! We don't usually buy pressies for Anniversary's...but his birthday is in two weeks ,so will have to rack my brains for something special...although he already has me ! Lol....

27 Jul, 2011

27 Jul, 2011

Congratulations, hope you had a good day and tried the new camera out.

27 Jul, 2011

 

thank you Julien..we had a lovely day,and I took lots of pics :o)

27 Jul, 2011

 

Sorry! Bit late to this one! Congratulations Bloomer, sounds like you had a lovely day out...ahem? pudding?! Yum! Just this once then! That was such a thoughtful present your Hubby bought you, I'm sure you couldn't wait to get started, cameras take an age to charge when you're sitting watching them, whispering 'hurry up!' Lol!
It was our 20th wedding anniversary on the 23rd, so we've a bit of catching up to do to get to 37! Happy days!
Can't wait to see some of your pics!

28 Jul, 2011

 

Thank you,Libet,a belated congratulations to you too...It will arrive sooner than you think...where has the time gone ? I was like a kid with a new toy yesterday...Funnily enough,I was never into photography till I joined GoY...so it's all their fault,Russell had to spend his money ! Lol.

28 Jul, 2011

 

Congratulations. 37 years, wow. Such a lovely thought from your OH.

28 Jul, 2011

 

Congratulations to you and 'Mr Bloomer' on your 37th! anniversary - you must be doing something right!!
What a wonderful (surprise) present too and I guess we'll all benefit from that as we view your photos on GoY.
(I don't suppose your caring husband has a single sister with a passport to Lancashire? . . lol). :-))

28 Jul, 2011

 

Thanks Alex..it has seemed to fly by...most of the time !! Lol...and I agree,a lovely thought.:o)
Lol,Muddy..I must be,..feeding him helps :o)..erm, OH was born in Oldham..so he can come and go as he pleases..as for the single sisters..he has two younger ones..but both attached,and both Yorkshire lasses..:o)))
Talk it over with your dear wife,..she can choose!! Lol.

28 Jul, 2011

 

Don't have one of those Bloomer, I'm a single Dad! :-)

28 Jul, 2011

 

Oh,sorry Muddy,I didn't know..we are well known for jumping in with both feet..! ..You can make your own mind up then..:o)

28 Jul, 2011

 

Ha ha - with two teenage daughters I'm already outnumbered (and outwitted!) in this house . . . lol! ;-))

28 Jul, 2011

 

Ah,enough women to contend with,Muddy..in the nicest possible way,of course..:o)

28 Jul, 2011

 

At least I'm the boss in the garden - my sanctuary . . lol!

28 Jul, 2011

 

Do you have a shed to escape to,as well.?.I escape to my garden and shed too.:o)

28 Jul, 2011

 

No room for a shed in my small garden, it would take up valuable planting space. But I do have an integral garage which is like a big shed - no room for the car at the moment though, as I have 24 sacks of well-rotted horse manure in there! Don't we all??? :-))

28 Jul, 2011

 

Ideal place for it,Muddy...just don't decide to fill the boot...or your boots..as well ! Lol.

28 Jul, 2011

 

Lol :-))

28 Jul, 2011

 

Congrats hope you had a lovely day, sorry i'm late.

29 Jul, 2011

 

Thanks Carol..no problem..lots of us are still trying to catch up..so much to look at and read,in the summer..but nice to see all the flowers in everyone's gardens..:o)

29 Jul, 2011
