Birthday Greetings to a Forumist

[Thomas Huber]

Congratulations Maggi and Ian!
May you have many more happy years together!

[fermi de Sousa]

Congrats, Maggi and Ian, what a lovely achievement for a lovely couple!
Perhaps Lesley could make a fruitcake in January, then a slice might survive a trip back to Scotland?
We'll look forward to a slice of whichever sort when we get to NZ for the Study Weekend at Lincoln Uni.
cheers

Hi Maggi and Ian ,

Here my best wishes too to your wedding day
Good luck and all the best for the future

[David Nicholson]

Happy Anniversary Maggi and Ian. If you have managed the first 35 the rest are a doddle

[annew]

Congratulations, Maggi and Ian - May you have many more.

[Maggi Young]

in another thread, Cliff writes:Anyway...what are you doing trawling the net on your anniversary....get yourself ready for the day out and evening meal that Ian has planned?
 

I thought you knew Ian better than that, Cliff.... this is bulb potting season. He wasn't growing many bulbs in 1972 or goodness knows when the wedding would have been!


We thought it might amuse you to see the following "before and after" pix....

Ian and Maggi, August 2nd 1972


Ian and Maggi, August 2nd 2007


How times change!
A further illustration of this... my Dad still has the bill for our wedding reception, where bottles of Moet and Chandon cost £2.50 each....you can't get much champagne for that price today... I daren't tell you how many bottles our modest gathering got through... you'd think we'd all be dead from alcohol poisoning.


Lesley's cake is delicious, we ate most of it before breakfast! We may need a little something to snack on with some bubbly, later, so this is in store....


Many thanks for all your kind wishes

[Thomas Huber]

I can't see any differences between the photos.
The smile is still the same 

[Heather Smith]

May I add my Congratulations too?

CONGRATULATIONS, Maggie & Ian  I'll toast you tonight at dinner.

[Mick McLoughlin]

Cogratulations to Maggie and Ian from the Mcloughlins as well.

[David Shaw]

And congratulations from Carol & David.
May you continue to enjoy many more years of marriage.

I second everything already said. Was Ian a Bay City Roller?

[Maggi Young]

Thank you, Mark.... now go and wash your mouth out with soap and water!

I am reminded of the evening we went downtown to the cinema, we wanted to see "Blazing Saddles"....in the street outside the cinema was a HUGE crowd waiting. We were surprised that so many people wanted to see the film and it was only after a few moments that we realised that everyone was wearing short tartan trousers, braces and scarves.....yes, that evening the cinema was the venue for a Bay City Roller concert!! We went elsewhere for a movie, the best  alternative we could find was "Towering Inferno"...Ian reasoning that it was an ironic coincidence in film titles..  it was terrible ! I don't think we've been to the cinema since!

[ChrisB]

Quite an achievement, you two.  I add my congratulations to this growing list.  Hope you have a great day, and many more like it.

Belated Congrats from the South!  Like Ian I'm in repot mode - didn't pick up the forum thread until (past) bedtime! 
Bless you both for all your hard work both at home and 'away'.
