Happy Anniversary!

to the most beautiful bride in the world

and the most handsome groom ever...

in 1957

54 years ago...

my mum and dad...joan and mike

{being an australian and a new zealander respectively}

 met

while dad was cycling from one end of the british isles to the other

with his friend murray...

and mum was on her big european hitch hiking working holiday

with her bestie hazel...

one day coincidentally they were both in st andrews in scotland
 picking up potatoes from behind a tractor

when they met...

i'm sure it would have been love at first sight and fireworks for both of them!!

dad went to london for a period
mum went back to australia and did some teaching

planning a wedding and inviting the rellies!

some months later...
they were reunited five days before the wedding

and were married at st james anglican church

in the city of toowoomba,

south east queensland, australia

i am told {by a reputable source}

that after the ceremony

they honeymooned  at southport on the gold coast

for 4 days...

and then at binnaburra in the gold coast hinterland

for 10 days!

they then took a bus back to sydney

where they

sailed to auckland, new zealand

and

had three of the most gifted children you'll ever meet

and

lived happily ever after!!!

her favourite flowers

are still daisies

{and they're mine too!}

naturally Carol
