Goodness me!

I had a shock tonight.  It was our 45th anniversary today which is sapphire.  We don't usually do anything apart from get each other a card, but this year he decided we should go for a meal.  I wasn't really bothered one way or the other.

Just before we left he gave me a posh little bag and inside was a little wooden varnished box.  In the box was a sapphire and diamond necklace on a white gold chain!!

Then the bell rang and it was a car and chaufer, we got in and there was a champagne bucket and we drank champagne on the way to the meal.  Our son had arranged the car and champers.

We had a nice meal at a country pub and then the car came back for us at ten oclock.  So a very unexpected evening.

Thank you all, it was a surprise.  I'm not used to it, he's not one for big gestures.

It is actually VERY sparkly, even the chain, but I can't capture it on a photo.

Always nice to know ebay is not just a selling & buying site.

Marriage guidance, counselling, celebrations, etc, etc, etc,

This is what ebay has become now,  A  message posting site that has no relevance to buying & selling,

Put this in your local newspaper.....................

What a lovely story to read CG - you must have been all of a flutter when the little bag was produced.   Did he fasten it round your neck before you went out?  

Your pendant is beautiful.
