Those who have been following my mutterings for more than a year will know that the wedding anni time has arrived again and we are off to Franz Josef for a night out - well - off to Auckland tonight, Queenstown in the morning and 2 nights in Wanaka, up the Haast Pass to the glaciers, on to Reefton to see Max and Nelsa and back to Christchurch via Arthur's Pass and then back to Auckland and home to Perth. We will be back on Thursday. Somehow I missed a day in my planning so we are motoring slightly faster than usual. I have stitch and paper and have set myself a task to create 2 little books while I am away on my Stonehaven theme - one on a khadi zig zag book and one on fabric. We shall see. Plus have camera as well.
For all you right aged people - 1968 it was! And yes - it is us and yes it is all my own hair - it was pretty long way back then and that really is Ian's own hair as well. And my father was very proud of me because I saved him money by making my wedding dress with about 50 hand covered buttons down the back and loads of rouleaux. Those were the days. He was even more proud when I cut it up later and made two garments from it but he took a long time to recover from the cost of my shoes which cost 5 pounds and they weren't even red.

Have a wonderful time, I love that Haas mountain area, well all of the South Island. 5 pounds for shoes, my you were extravagant!
Happy anniversary, the pair of you. November seems a good month to get married. Also, I'm happy to note that Dad looks nothing like me in that picture.
Happy Anniversary. I hope you have a wonderful time.(Your hair is amazing!)
Happy Anniversary and enjoy your trip. It is obvious that the shoe thing is well rooted in your youth.
Happy Anniversary to both of you and have a wonderful trip. Oh to have such beautiful hair - I couldn't even grow mine long enough for plaits.
Congratulations Dale! It always warms my heart to see people stay married so long, especially in this day and age. Hope you have a joyous time together.
