the biggest update of all time

so I gets home after an epic ordeal of a day as outlined in the last blog....but I made it. At 7.30am (after a 1hours and 30mins waiting for luggage to arrive) I was with Laura. At 9.30am we were home and after a kip it was 5pm with the click of a finger.

Up we got and I had a cheese sandwich whilst professing to Laura how much I had missed real cheese. Mmmmm I said as I munched on the sandwich. I also studied the green green grass of home and declared what a wonderous sight for tired eyes it was. All of the this was a smokescreen.

At 6pm I suggested we might go for a meal at Pizza Express as we have done many times before. Primarily, Laura thought, this was to have a cheese pizza. I made a fake phone callhaving agreed to try and book for 8pm. Talking to a dial tone I had an imaginary conversatio with Pizza Express ensuring I was speaking sufficiently loud for Laura to hear from the front room. "oh, ok...hold on....Laura, is 7.30pm ok?'; 'yes thats fine came the reply' and the plans were set in motion.

We set off at 7pm and on the way in I suggested that instead of parking at Park Street Multi Storey as normal we should park over the river and walk across one of the green green commons on the way. We parked and made our way over the bridge. Walking along the path I then said, ooooh let me walk on the grass and I might take my shoes off.......the lovely Laura had no idea.

After droping to one knee I read a poem I had prepared. I then produced a ring and asked her to Marry me and the lady she says yes........yippppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

We had a random person take the above photo 30 seconds after our matrimonial agreement.

I then informed Laura that we were not going to Pizza Express but rather the Ancient Shepherds at Fen Ditton - the venue of our first ever date. We had champagne and ate lovely fair and then to Laura's suprise together with the rest of the pub a stretch turned up outside to take us home.

Congratulations to us.....29th July 2006 is the day folks - venue permitting
