It is Pip & my fifth wedding anniversary today. We are cooking each other dinner at the moment, Pip is just preparing the desert. We’re drinking five year old burgundy as well.
We watched our wedding DVD with Laurie earlier. Indie wasn’t so interested.
Pip wrote me a poem. I was touched. I shall share it.
On our fifth wedding anniversary
In 2005 we walked down the aisle
The ‘newlyweds‘ we were tagged for a while
We provided a memorable family event
When we tied the knot at the church in Kent.
Then off on our travels to Borneo
I still have the leech bite on my toe
Amazing diving and a hammerhead shark
As marriages go it was an exciting start.
The following year there was lots of walking
Not round the block, 54 miles we’re talking
Meanwhile I started sporting a rather neat bump
We squeezed in sailing in Turkey before making that jump
The one into parenthood, how scary was that?
A minute little bundle we put in a hat.
Lorelei Moss that grew curl after curl
And sent our old life into a crazy new whirl.
We weren’t going to lose out on travelling though
Now we just holiday with the relies in tow
Morocco or camping of off on some run
Picassa will show we’ve done well on the fun.
Then me changing jobs to tackle England’s obese
But I managed to quickly secure a release
To go back to St Thomas’ to pop out number two
Our wonderful Indigo completing our crew.
So five years ago on the 21st May
We sealed the deal that paved the way
To all these events that shape my life
Darling Barn my best move was becoming your wife.
