6 years on...

On 8th June 2002, many of you helped us celebrate our wedding at Fawley Court. Six years on, we are having a rather quieter day at home. Oakley has just gone out to play and lunch (thanks, Camilla!) and we are going straight back to bed - although not in the traditional wedding anniversary kind of way!

In the early days of treatment, I tried not to organise too much for Oakley the week we came home, thinking he would want to be with us. I quickly realised this was more our interpretation than his. Today I got a really lovely "Thank you, Mummy, for letting me have a playdate" (the "rather than hanging around with you two exhausted old fogeys" was unsaid but we knew what he meant).

We've had six wonderful years of marriage and now we have years more ahead of us. Who could ask for a better present?
