Wedding Anniversary

OK, so it was a little bit unorganised, truth be told.

I woke up with a start.

Bollix!!

It's our anniversary and I forgot to buy flowers for my lovely wife.

It was 6am and the shops wouldn't be opened but I slipped into my clothes anyway and ventured out to see what I could come up with in Nerja, the very town we were married near some years back.

We were on a holiday from our holiday, staying for two nights down in beautiful Nerja.

I was as quiet as a mouse and eased the front door open so as to not wake my sleeping wife and three children.

It was still dark, and there was a switch beside the door. Ah, the light. Excellent. I pressed it.

DING DONG!!!!

Ah bollix I thought, my plan was foiled and likely everyone was now awake at stupid O'Clock!

I continued with the plan anyway and after checking a few shops and a florist, non were open yet as expected.

Time to get the thinking cap on.

I knew the Nerja beaches well from my ten or so previous visits to this town and knew a few places where wild flowers grew.

Maybe I could visit these places and make a bouquet up myself?

A long shot, but worth a try.

The plan worked and I made up what I thought was a pretty nice bouquet given the circumstances.

To be honest though, the main topic of conversation when I got back was the "doorbell incident"

I'd woken up everybody, so unfortunately the flowers didn't get much appreciation, truth be told.

I tried though and I suppose that's the main thing.

We had agreed not to get gifts, as we were away on holidays and that was enough, we felt, but I still wanted to mark it somehow and when I woke early I was determined to do something.

In hindsight, maybe breakfast in bed would have been a better idea!

Well, it's the thought that counts, and if I could have another go I'd still go for the early morning freshly picked wildflowers, except I wouldn't ring that pesky doorbell.

For the women amongst ye, would ye prefer:

1. freshly picked wildflowers picked with care by your loved one

2. Shop bought flowers

3. No flowers

Thanks as always for stopping by everyone

Peace Out
