	I think my years all just rolled along .. nothing stands out as being better or worse than another.. Today here in NZ, five couples went for a balloon ride - for one couple it was a Christmas present from their children.. it is believed the balloon hit a power line and caught fire.. All eleven people died... not a very good start to 2012 for their families. We were out when we heard it on BBC news on the radio.. Horrific really, don't know who they were yet.. Persie

The wind got up again last night and it's still blustery. Persie, I just read about that accident on my home page. It was dreadful. Those poor, poor families. The first film I think I ever saw at the cinema was The Ten Commandments I think - it seemed to go on for hours. And hours. The first film I saw with OH was The Sons of Katie Elder with John Wayne. Yep, he's a true romantic is my OH ;-) When we got married in 1968, we didn't have a car and the trains were on strike. Our honeymoon was to be at Durdle Door in Lulworth. We had to travel by coach to get there. Unfortunately, we had several hours to kill between the afternoon reception and the overnight coach start. So......what did we do???? That's right. You've guessed. We went to the cinema to watch The Witchfinder General!! :-S :-S :-S We couldn't even get seats together but I still sat there in all my going away outfit - shocking pink dress and coat with navy blue pill box hat and matching gloves and shoes. Plus confetti. Those were the days. :-D :-D :-D :-D
