65th wedding anniversary
Thank you to those who have contacted Sylvia and me to wish us a happy 65th wedding anniversary. No way did we ever think ahead to an occasion like this when we married way back in 1959. I guess it is not a common happening these days as when I was searching for a 65th anniversary card none were to be found. Plenty for the milestones up to 60 but none beyond. Hope you are all having a good day.
Lost Secateurs
Stupidly, I drove off this morning with my Secateurs on the roof of my car. Drove from Arthur Hobson Ave, down Trinity Cres into Downing Ave then up Taradle Rd into the Napier CBD! By chance has anyone picked them up? They have red or orangy-red handles (Can't exactly remember the colour!)
