It's now officially Tuesday here and I have wracked and wracked my brain for ideas for ways to mark the wedding anniversary of Mr and Mrs Harrod on Saturday. It's very difficult because Mrs Harrod is in a difficult situation - her husband is missing.
I'm not baking another cake, whatever believe09 says.
I thought of getting a replacement for the painting of Sassy that was taken away - this print looks very much like her, and the artist, Judy Gibson, also paints some beautiful pictures of rooms; you can tell she sees a home as a place of the heart and soul, not just a place to store stuff, or use as a status symbol.

But we can't contact victims, so that's no go. Then I looked up the gift for fourth anniversaries, hoping for inspiration. It's linen. Enough said. That's out.
But - apparently the whole idea of anniversaries being represented by metals and gems etc originated over here. In medieval Germany, with a silver painted wreath given after 25 years. And the flower for fourth wedding anniversary is the hydrangea, which germans absolutely love. So tomorrow I am going to visit my local florist and find a hydrangea wreath (wreaths are sold here all the time, nothing to do with funerals) and I will post a lovely picture of it, and put it on the web as well, for the anniversary.
As hydrangeas come in lots of different colours, I thought it might be nice if other posters could post their good wishes with hydrangeas too - so there will be a mass of beautiful blooms on Bob's thread, for the special day.
What does anyone else think?
