An engagement

One of the first things we noticed as we got home & stepped into our kitchen was the answerphone light blinking. We listened to the messages. Three of them were from our friend, PD. In the end he could restrain himself no longer. He was bursting to tell us the news. Our mutual friend, Den, had finally got around to proposing to Fran, another friend. And she accepted.

So with a bit of luck, next month we're off to a wedding. They're hoping to book the registry office on Monday.

They're both in their mid-seventies, so
don't feel they can afford to wait years to actually get married. Their affection for each other is evident. They've been through bad times together. The death of Harry, Fran's first husband & Den's close friend, was hard for them both to cope with. They both loved Harry in their different ways.

We're really overjoyed for them both & wish them all the very best.
