Noel and Janet Ross-Gillespie celebrated their 1st wedding anniversary with me on 9 August 2003 and this year was the fifth time they’ve repeated the exercise (now married for seven years), bringing with them Jamie (now 3) and Erin (turning 1 on the 20th). Congratulations, you two, and happy National Women’s Day to boot.
Which takes me back to that first meeting when we discovered, by pure chance, that we were actually related – second cousins twice removed or something like that. Who says you won’t bump into a fellow countryman in Trafalgar Square?
This hands-on couple take great delight in their offspring (although I suspect a great deal of Noel’s interest is focused on the electronic toys!) and their adept parenting skills are already showing signs of paying off in their two delightful kids.
I’ve also had the pleasure of hosting Noel’s parents to stay (August 2006) when Trevor presented me with a stunning watercolour of a thatch-roofed house across the bay that he rustled up during his and Shirley’s weekend here.
