I was away when your comment was posted. Yes, they have been 50 good years by and large and we still can't imagine life without each other. As for growing old disgracefully, I blame Hermione Gingold who first put the thought into my head many years ago with the title of her autobiography "How to grow old disgracefully". :)Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3705825161954545710.post-47720426085412156302018-05-10T22:14:20.432+01:002018-05-10T22:14:20.432+01:00Congratulations, Perpetua!

What a wonderful portrait you have painted of those years by sharing these priceless photos with us. I see so many smiles. I think those smile must mean there has been great joy in your marriage.
