 Congratulations ! 


Here's to the next 30 

[CLKD]

We've celebrated our Ruby last month  .  We are treating each other to a model by an artist who lives in Brighton who I met via a TV programme  [long story short] which is being finely honed as I type.

  ……. depends on how much you want to spend; does he have hobbies or is he interested in trying something new, i.e. clay pigeon shooting, fly fishing? a weekend away ………. I don't actually like pearls or rubies  I'm a diamond girl.  So the cards were appropriate [we spent our Pearl anniversary in Dornie, Scotland] ……

Can't wait for my pearl anniversary,love pearls
It's our silver next year so some nice silver jewellery me thinks

[star35]

Thank you Dazned and Dyan. CLKD we are going to Wales for a week but want to get him some thing he can open, your model has given me an idea. He has looked at art work in the past so a nice painting might be an idea.

Let him give you the pearls & you get him something you know he'll like. I got black coral & silver jewellery for ours. I'm not overly keen on pearls. But having been to the pearl shops in the Channel Islands, they do come in many colours. I got one a couple of years back which was blueish black.

[CLKD]

Where abouts in Wales?  Take your wellies 

You might find something suitable in an antique shop of which there are few in Wales  [or we would have moved back] …… I buy most of my jewellery via auctions or antique galleries, always asking for discount

Hi CLKD
We are going to a place near CHepstow.

Many Congratulations.

These days there are modern equivalents of the wedding anniversary gifts and the site I just googled reckons it's diamonds for the 30th - hmmmm, not sure that helps. They also say diamond for 60th, 80th and 85th!

[CLKD]

Cheapstow - England  ……. know the name, no idea where it is  there's a race course I think?

Have sent you a PM

[star35]

Chepstow is near coldicot and Tintern, Monmouthshire. Thank you for the pm I will take a look.

[bramble]

You could plant something in the garden for the two of you - there is a clematis I think called Rose Pearl or a shrub Choisya Aztec Pearl.

What about a pearl handled pocket knife?

[star35]

Shrubs are a good idea as we have just removed some old ones and we are just in the middle of replanning. We had a miniature tree that has died and I wanted some thing special to replace it. Thank you.

[CLKD]

Bramble that sounds great - now if I had more space [Mum gave us a ruby coloured small flowered dahlia as part of our gift  ]

Tintern - we went there *many* years ago and it was sunny that day …….. it's vague, in the back of my mind 
When do you travel?
