I should have taken photos of your lovely table with the food and tea but I was too busy eating and drinking!<br />Still, I hope I conveyed what a wonderful time we had with you and I truly think you can see that from our photo in front of the green doors!<br />I love that you have given me the details of all that you did yourself for your wedding reception. With those barrels of beer, I'll just bet it was a barrel of fun!<br /><br />Tickled that you will make an album from this!<br />Must stop my comment here, I am running out of exclamation marks!<br />Take care!<br />With Love from Kay & Richard.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-3974677929560431932012-07-06T08:37:06.548-04:002012-07-06T08:37:06.548-04:00Dear Kay and Rick

The photograph of us with the card from the Queen is one of the best ever taken.When we married in a side-street church some 62 years ago, we never dreamt that our wedding photo would be seen all over the world! It is fantastic.<br /><br />W have bought a special book for the blog and comments.<br /><br />You 2 packed a lot into your time here. We were so pleased to see you and catch up with your news. It is always good to see old friends and we really,really enjoyed the visit. We missed Christopher,of course, and look forward to seeing him next time.<br /><br />And many thanks for the lovely anniversary card which arrived in good time and was so special.<br /><br />Henry was right to say that I (Joy) made the sandwiches etc for our reception while I (Henry) set up the hall and barrels of beer with my soon-to-be father-in-law. The 4 piece jazz band, 'The Fords', came from the next road and cost the princely sum of £4.50.<br /><br />Again, our thanks and wishing you all the best for the future,<br /><br />Joy and HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-43957919157629651292012-06-27T18:55:46.524-04:002012-06-27T18:55:46.524-04:00Sciptor,

The trick to it is that one must go on-line and download a form and send it in 21 days prior to the anniversary. Joy & Henry had their 60th two years ago. Three more years and they can get another card from the Queen! <br />(And it said on birthdays, 100th and 105th...and every year thereafter!)Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-13887516051893758172012-06-27T01:48:59.091-04:002012-06-27T01:48:59.091-04:00I think that Diamond Anniversary from the Queen mu...I think that Diamond Anniversary from the Queen must be just for this year - her Diamond Jubilee year because my Mum and Dad didn't hase it bwhen they celebrated theirs in 1999.

I have fed them tidbits from your blog but they will not see the whole thing until tomorrow when we go over to cut their grass and hedge. Sair does the former and I the latter. <br /><br />They will be 'tickled pink'. The question is: will Joy put your posts in one of her famous albums or will she buy a new showcase for them? A number of their friends have already been directed to your site!<br /><br />It really was a great visit and we all have such happy memories.<br /><br />Although not so today, the weather here has been beautiful this week.I took a few snaps of the garden so that you can see what it looks like when not shrouded in mist and merk. It goes without saying that it will be Sair who sends them!<br /><br />Joy and Henry send their love to you all and say they want to see Christopher next time.<br /><br />HenryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-22872469692897384662012-06-19T12:24:34.766-04:002012-06-19T12:24:34.766-04:00Hey Burwash Bloke!

We really,really enjoyed ...Oh Kay: what can I say?<br /><br />We really,really enjoyed your visit. And,yes, you are very much our friend and always will be.The weather was not kind during your visit and yet we still had a high old time.Your visit was a fillip for Joy and Henry who always look forward to seeing,and hearing from, you.<br /><br />I became a vegetarian at the age of 9 and didn't meet another till I was 28! And she was a veggie due to her religion rather than individual choice. In the 60s here, it was quite common if you asked for 'a cheeseburger without the burger' to be presented with the full burger. Then the waiter would come to the table, remove the meat in front of you and charge you full price!<br /><br />I might be biased but Joy and Henry are a special couple. They have been through a lot in their lives yet always remained cheerful and positive and happy to do far more than 'their bit'. I think I am right in saying that, because money was so tight when they married, they spent the morning of their wedding day doing their own catering - making sandwiches etc.<br /><br />So pleased that you enjoyed your visit, that it coincided with the Diamond Jubilee and that you have so many good - and photographic - memories of it.<br /><br />We look forward to keeping up with your blogs and seeing all 3 of you next April.<br /><br />Henry Lord Snuffy, the Gorgeous Sarah and Poppy and Bear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-87468975162454548322012-06-18T23:25:54.281-04:002012-06-18T23:25:54.281-04:00Friends are indeed a source of joy!
