Today, 1st April, happens to be the 51st anniversary of our first date.
We went to the cinema to see the film 'The Trap' and afterwards Ray accompanied me home on the bus to my parents' house. There we found my mum and dad and my sis and her boyfriend sitting in the living room.
By the time we had drunk a sociable cup of coffee, Ray had missed the last bus to his parents' house so he ran all the way home - about 2 miles he tells me.
So I offer my rainbow in celebration!
Happy Anniversary, Ray!
Who was fooling whom on 1st April 1969 ? :-) Running all the way home after seeing the young lady safely back home was what you did back then although by the time Ray was doing that I had already been married for 2 years! Nice rainbow collection... although the 6th/7th ones in each row are the wrong colours! The order as I learned in my 3rd year in grammar school is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Mind you what did grammar schools know?
It’s now around 2 a.m. & my leg stopping me sleeping so I shall just say that it’s not wrong but called artistic licence!!! I mean what has anyone ever seen which is called indigo - except perhaps ink?! I hope you are fast asleep....
Your rainbow month looks really lovely. Fav
What a sweet story too
Yes, that was strange about the date - I wasn't conscious of it as I made the rainbow!
Jackie, thanks and yes, we must get together when life is back to 'normal'!
Yes, amazing how social mores change in just one generation!
