16 years ago Eric and I got married. It was Tuesday, the slot they had open at our village mairie in the French countryside. Our guests were Eric's daughter Luci and my Hazel who took this photo. We felt so happy. What an adventure it continues to be - still happy!

When the Torygraph advertises it's coverage of the next General Election with a headline showing that an opinion poll points to a massive defeat for the Tories, really think the writing is on the wall for them!
