50 Years of Memories

It is 50 years today that Brian and I had our first date at the Saturday Easter Regatta Yacht Race dinner at the Point Yacht Club in Durban South Africa.  The only reason we are so sure of the date is that Brian's mother obvioulsy was a keen "scrapbooker" as we found a newspaper cutting of Brian and his father racing the Graduate yacht that they built.  After the race Brian and I went to the dinner and the rest is history.  The photo shows various yachts racing and Brian and his Dad are on the right hand side of the photo with the number G40 on the sail. They finished second which as a good result.


It is also going to be 47 years on Tuesday 20th April 2010 that we will have been married so this is a special time in our lives. Enjoy the two photos.
