We are pretty close to you - we started "associating" in September 1976
There's a lot of it about ;D
Title: Re: They said it wouldn't last
Post by: CLKD on August 24, 2014, 06:42:46 PM: Our 1st day was 5 years before - 25 Feb. 1970 :-*
Title: Re: They said it wouldn't last
Post by: honeybun on August 24, 2014, 06:53:50 PM: Our "courtship" ;D was quick but we were friends before.

I was the manageress of the canteen of the factory that hubby came to work in. I was one of the first people he met when he came to Scotland. We got on really well and I used to give him extras when he came in for his lunch. I was fed up with catering and decided to apply for work in his dept. He interviewed me and turned me down for the job ;D.
I left to do something else and eventually we met up, got together and 12 months later we got married.

They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I can vouch for that ::)

Post by: babyjane on August 25, 2014, 10:27:58 AM: CLKD we met at school aged just 12 in 1969 but didn't 'go out' until March 1970. Looking back it was quite a childlike romance and finished when he left school and I stayed on. We had 18 months apart during which time I dated others including his best friend. Through him we met up again and I dumped his friend and we got back together aged 17, engaged at 18, married at 19, 38 years ago and yes, they all said it wouldn't last :)

Post by: honeybun on August 25, 2014, 03:06:12 PM: It's lovely to read how others met.

My son told me not that long ago that he did tell quite a lot of people just how long his mum and dad had been married. He says it's so unusual and most of his friends have divorced parents. A lot of us must have great staying power ;D

Post by: babyjane on August 25, 2014, 03:23:00 PM: I can remember our daughter coming home from school one day and asking us why we were still together. Apparently there was not one other boy or girl in her friendship group who had parents together. I remember feeling so very sad.
Now she is a teacher and there are still not many children in her class each year that don't have a broken family.

Title: Re: They said it wouldn't last
Post by: CLKD on August 03, 2025, 10:34:42 AM: Morning. We spent our 30th in a lovely bungalow near Eilen Donan Castle, spending 4 days on the Isle of Skye in fab weather. The following week the road between the bridge and Portree was washed away :o
Title: Re: They said it wouldn't last
Post by: Lesred on August 03, 2025, 11:23:29 AM: August/any weather in Scotland is rather mixed to say the least! Being born in Glasgow I visited the Highlands and Islands many times, it’s beautiful up there and we still go every year, once in a campervan, got stuck in a field outside Portree ;D
Title: Re: They said it wouldn't last
Post by: CLKD on August 03, 2025, 04:55:15 PM: Getting stuck anywhere ain't fun! What ever the weather :o

We have a camper with a Porta Potty ;-)
Title: Re: They said it wouldn't last
Post by: CLKD on August 23, 2025, 01:44:27 PM: We drove to Castleton on Monday and back home on Thursday having seen the people that we needed to talk with: about a piece of Blue John bowl and some shards : visiting Bakewell on Tuesday and Buxton on Wed., no anxiety at all :o ........ in Bakewell we found The Wee Dram where I treated Himself to a bottle of expensive whiskey and he bought himself a different kind, both new 2 him.

Today we have exchanged cards and a huge bouquet arrived mid morning :-* 8)
