Low key celebration.

New Year’s Day marked my parents’ 65th Wedding Anniversary. 65 years ago they married on a snowy New Year's Day. It was at Tawstock Church near Barnstaple in N Devon. My Mum was from the hamlet of Lake nestled in a valley between Barnstaple and Tawstock. She settled here with Dad in the Southern edge of the Cotswolds. We had lunch at a local pub Ye Olde Swan Radcot beside the river Thames. This was my Dads local pub in his youth. He and his friends (all now departed)used to cycle a mile or so from the village to enjoy a game of darts. Dad is in his 95 th year and Mum is just a spring chicken, 10 years younger. It was just 6 for lunch. Parents, My brother, S I L , OH and Me.

Happy New Year to all.
