Fourth of July.

Happy Fourth of July holiday to all my friends and contacts across The Atlantic. Congratulations on celebrating your independence.

Fourth of July is also a very special day for me, I call it 'Loss of Independence Day' !
I'd better explain. 50 years ago today I met my beautiful wife and around 18 months later we were married. So, in around 18 months time we'll be celebrating 50 years of marriage.
My 'loss of independence' on 4th July 1965 has always been the happiest day of my life.
I don't have a picture of her on the day we met, but here's an image taken by a friend on our wedding day.

We always celebrate 4th July by spending the day on our own, as we were when we met, and usually on a long, long walk.
As the weather forecast for today was pretty poor, we took our walk yesterday in Glen Affric, one of Scotland's most beautiful glens.

Thanks for looking.

Congrats Alan.

We're just a little behind you, at 46-years. Keep 'em coming.

Oh, I remember thinking, when I was younger, that 50-years of marriage seemed impossible and everyone I'd every known to have achieved it seemed absolutely ancient. My point of view has changed a bunch.

Congrats again.
