Yesterday was our wedding anniversary. The longest day of the year....and yes, we've surely heard jokes involving the two coinciding.
Does it seem like 33 years? Nope! Our anniversary may fall on the longest day of the year, but I'd say that our marriage is far from dragging on.
Never did I think that we'd be in Scotland celebrating the day, but with Marty gone so much of the time in this last year, we decided that it would be great for me to come along on this trip.
We have ventured out of Scotland into Northern England and we are not far from Hadrian's Wall. We are in the town of Newton-on-the-Moor, which can claim a pub and a post office, but little more. It really is a beautiful little English town.
It took a little longer that I anticipated for us to arrive due to an "urgent" call from Marty's boss that involved us sitting on the side of the road for over an hour.
We stopped for a bathroom break, and I thought I"d have a quick snack while waiting for Marty. I was enjoying a biscuit, looking at the fabulous view, when I looked up and saw this guy.
I took this photo from inside the car, because there was NO WAY I was going to continue to munch on a biscuit with him nearby after the meat pie story!
We finally made it to our B&B after stopping at the nearby coaching inn and getting directions. There really are only a few houses in the town, but the owners had been outside working on the lawn, and they were right in front of the sign!
The place is lovely, and we enjoyed a delightful cup of tea while looking over the gardens.
Well, for the record, I enjoyed a cup of tea while looking over the gardens, because Marty was working in the bedroom.
Hey! Somebody might as well be having some fun......right?
Yvonne was kind enough to take our photo prior to us leaving the Dunedin.
So, here we are.....33 years later.
Not too bad if you ask me. So, what do you think?
