Earlier this month Hubby and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary.
On the 2nd of November 25 years ago Hubby and I got married at 12.30pm at St Thomas Church Newhey (little did I know that a few years later I would start work at the church school just down the hill.)
It was a damp blustery day but the rain stayed away and the sun even peeped through for us occasionally.
We enjoyed the reception at Scaitcliffe Hall in Todmorden (all boarded up now I believe) with our family and friends and it was so wonderful.
In those pre-internet days organising a wedding and honeymoon took a little longer with phone calls and letters...I know! but three places were in the running for the honeymoon. Kinnaird in Scotland, Summer Lodge in Dorset and Burgh Island in Devon. For some reason, long forgotten we decided on Kinnaird in Scotland....in November!
Roll on 25 years and we decided to finally make a long awaited trip to Burgh Island to celebrate our wedding anniversary....
We have known each other since 1988 when I walked into the studio at Courtaulds for my first day at work, we quickly became friends and the rest as they say is history.
We started at Brixham. Staying one night then onto Burgh Island for two nights and one night on the way back at Worcester.
The morning we left Brixham was very drizzly and dull.
It is such a wonderful experience...we parked the car in the private car park on the mainland then we were picked up and taken over the sands in a 4X4 to the Island (it is actually a part-time island as the tide cuts it off twice a day from the mainland)
