I'm so lucky!
Thirty years ago I married my wonderful Peter. We had our ups and downs but here we are, still going strong!
I consider myself a very lucky woman.
Here's to the next thirty!

A very royal occasion
We watched the Diamond Jubilee Pageant this afternoon, which was quite interesting. We're not big fans of royalty, but enjoyed seeing all the boats. Towards the grand finale, the skies opened and drenched everybody. The footage below is from before the deluge.
This is from the Daily Telegraph (not my favourite source, but it was all I could find):
The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant made its way 10 miles along the river from Battersea to Tower Bridge, where an “Avenue of Sail” – made up 98 vessels too large to join the pageant itself – was waiting.
Figures from the organisers showed that the total number of craft expected to be on the water for the historic occasion – including safety boats and those moored along the route – is 1,066.
Such was the fleet’s size, it took 75 minutes to pass.
The Brits are very good at organizing this kind of thing, even during a recession. It must have cost a fortune. The four-day celebration started yesterday at the Epsom Derby and will come to an close on Tuesday.
Finally!
I think I had more than enough of all things relating to the queen in the past few weeks. On some days there was very little else on TV...

Celebrating a lifetime together
Mrsgunka had a Christmas scare when Ray was suddenly ill and had to be taken to hospital. Fortunately, Ray is making good progress.
Today is their 53rd wedding anniversary and although they won't be physically together, their hearts will be as close as ever.
Let's accompany Mr & Mrsgunka on a trip back to 1958, when they tied the knot.
Eisenhower was the president of the United States, Khrushchev was the leader of the USSR and Harold MacMillan was the UK Prime Minister.
1958 saw the birth of NASA and of the John Birch Society.
South Pacific was the top grossing movie and The Bridge on the River Kwai won 7 Academy Awards, including best picture.
Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward were also married in 1958:
The world of fashion, from the December issue of Vogue:
People drove very big cars:
These two songs topped the Billboard charts:
Dear Mrsgunka, you and Ray saw many changes over all these years together, but the best thing is what hasn't changed: Your enduring love for each other.
Happy anniversary!
