It started with a kiss in March 1984 and were married later the same year on 1st December. The gentle, patient and kind man that is Himself has just taken me away for a short break, to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. We returned home yesterday evening.
Our journey started here ~
at St.Pancras Railway Station in London. Its fairy tale turrets seem worlds away from a railway station. The photo at the top of this post is of the 'The Meeting Place', the statue which graces the end of the platform area of the Eurostar terminus. It is nine metres tall and weighs five tons!
Our destination?
More of the interesting, elegant, lively and definitely most festive city of Strasbourg very soon. Now I must away for a stint of emulating a domestic goddess before I sort out the draw for 'A Bunch Of Sweet Peas'. Back soon.
Congrats on your silver annivesary - looking forward to hearing about your trip to Strasbourg as I dont know much about it
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Anna! What a great idea to take a trip together to celebrate! The sculpture is very powerful and passionate. Show us more pictures please!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Lucky you - I'm looking forward to seeing more photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing photo of St Pancras station - I would definitely not have thought that was what it is! (Hope that makes grammatical sense!)
How Sweet! Congratulations Anna! Many Happy Returns! Carol

ReplyDeleteI'm sure you trip must have been dreamy and romantic with a start at such an enchanted looking train station. Can't wait to hear more :)
Congratulations Anna! I have never been in Strasbourg...
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that your trip to Strasbourg was for a wedding anniversary. Great choice. It's also one of my favorite cities to visit. I'll be looking forward to what you considered the highlights there.
ReplyDeleteThey really know how to DO Christmas in Alsace and indeed over into Germany.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great festive treat.
Congratulations on your anniversary
Congratulations Anna :)
ReplyDeleteIt started with a kiss for us 25 years ago too AND our silver wedding anniversary trip started at St Pancras station!
Happy Anniversary! I can't believe that amazing railway station, just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your Silver Wedding Anniversary Anna, how romantic to be whisked away to Strasbourg for the weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy other half surprised me with a weekend in Venice for a "special number" birthday a couple of years ago!
I haven't been to Strasbourg so look forward to hearing more about that wonderful city.
