Today is James’ and my 40th wedding anniversary! I can hardly believe that it has been 40 years. I remember waking up on the morning of our wedding and the first thing that I saw was my beautiful wedding dress, hanging up on the curtain rail in my bedroom because it was too long to fit it my wardrobe. It was a lovely day; we were only twenty-three and twenty-two years old, it was a very traditional Scottish wedding and we enjoyed the day so much more than we had anticipated! The wedding was at Trinity Church and the reception was at the Popinjay Hotel at Rosebank in the Clyde Valley. Our family and friends were all there supporting us and we were very happy.
And here we are forty years later, spending our Ruby anniversary in Ullapool. We will also be celebrating with Heather and Ewan in Paris in June, and with all three of our boys and their partners in Tanzania at the end of July, however this weekend it’s just the two of us - and the cats! Today we walked around the village and had lunch at Tea by the Sea. The weather forecast was for rain, but although it was overcast it was really warm and we were able to sit outside. Then we watched some of the coastal rowing regatta that is taking place in the loch today. There were competitors from lots of different clubs.
In the evening we drove to Lochinver to have dinner in Delilah’s which was very busy. The meal was absolutely delicious, and although the service was a bit disorganised we had a relaxed and fun evening. When we drove back to Ullapool at about half past nine it was still quite light and there were quite a few deer down by the road.
