A vintage kind of week.....

Silver
A word that describes all that shines with the prettiest of lights...




This week has been one of the nicest kinds ~
along with blowing out candles and making wishes....
Mr Rosey Tinted Spectacles 
 and I celebrated 25 years of wedded bliss!
ha ha..
 It only seems like yesterday.




Like most other young couple then..
We didn't have two pennies to rub together...


We didn't have a honey moon....
Goodness no....
We needed a washing machine much more than a fancy holiday!
Dean would be born prematurely in the August...
Busy, busy days..
I smile when I think of just how much we needed to build and feather
our nest back then....





The last three days we have spent here, to celebrate in a little more style..
The Lake side hotel on lake Windermere...
This beautiful picture of the hotel from many moons ago was displayed in our room.
Then...



And now...

A beautiful retreat with the most stunning views...




This weekend we will celebrate with closest family and friends..
Small but so very special..
~ a lot like we did back then...

( Thank you, lovely, Thea)

The cards below are vintage..
A lot like us.
They belonged to my parents...






It's little words from me to day!
But I have high hopes that your weekend with be of the grandest too..




Take time to dream lovely blog world..
I thank you for all the kindest words and thoughts you always leave here!
They truly mean the world!
with twinkly hugs 
*******
Maria.

    The very top photo, l think is rather special....Thought of mia Mama,
    right away...She was very religious, if she'd been a man, she'd been
    Pope! It's what she wanted me to be...A priest to start with...! Jesus!
    Can you imagine...ME a priest....!
    "And the lord said unto Moses..Come forth..Come forth...And, he came
    fifth..And, lost his beer money". :>).

    This is soooo! nice Maria...Once again, ALL the very best to both of you.

  2. My goodness what a GORGEOUS COUPLE you are! My dearest Maria, you are blessed. 25 years is a good long time, and we had our 32nd in March. Love is the strongest force ever, and between two people who then multiply their joy in family? It creates a cord of many strands that cannot be broken. BRAVO! You both are so beautiful! Anita

    1. You have a lovely man too, Thea..There's so much beauty here on our doorstep in the Lake district! Pleased you had some special time together too!
      We may have not had a lot in the way of holidays and all in our early years, but last year we travelled twice abroad (so special and blessed) and mostly our trips away are because of Mr Deano Miller and his running!! haha....x

  19. Happy anniversary - You both look far too young to have been married for 25 years!
    (It will be 45 years for me this year - but two Mr N's, I'm afraid. Well, I hope I'm allowed one mistake!)
