Happy Anniversary :)

This year, we've been celebrating our tenth anniversary.  It was (way!) back in 2003 that we married.  An amazing day, with wonderful friends and our fantastic families, with the reception help in the beautiful garden nurtured by Anna's amazing parents. 
On anniversary day itself, Anna was treated to a fancy dinner.  Not by me though...  She went out with a friend of ours who's moving away.  (Don't worry - we were putting off celebrating our anniversary to the following week, anyway!!)
We went to Anna's parents on the Sunday.  It's always wonderful to be with them, but given that our wedding was in their village and the reception in their garden, it was particularly nice (in fact, perhaps we should have popped into the church while we were there...)
And then, on Tuesday we went to London.  Without the boys!  Anna's parents had very kindly offered to look after our two (gorgeous!) sons to allow us to get away for a couple of nights. 
We were in a lovely hotel.  We arrived in the morning, before our room was ready.  As they chatted through check-in, they asked if this was a special occasion.  We explained it was our tenth wedding anniversary.  When we got to our room later, we found this:

Very sweet (in more ways than one!)
London was fabulous.  We went and saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (The issues of poverty in it demand another blog post somewhere!) 
We enjoyed meals at some lovely restaurants, including Rules.  The first time I met Anna's parents, they took us to Rules, so it was great to go back (it's not a restaurant we go to frequently!!).
We also popped up the road to see The Easel. 

For the uninitiated, this is the announcement of the birth of a new prince.  George, as it happens, though we didn't know it at the time.  We also enjoyed the changing of the guard. 

We had a lovely time eating lunch by the Serpentine.

And here's my wonderful wife (with a dragon sticking its tongue in her ear...)

It was a fantastic couple of days. 
But most of all, I'm immensely grateful to my amazing Anna, for all she does for us as a family and for the love we've shared for the fabulous first ten years of marriage. 
I love you sweetheart!
