21 Years !!

by Peter Elgar

21 years Wedding Anniversary ! My Filipina Bride has put up with me for all that time and we have two clever kids, one of whom took the snap in Mizu Restaurant Brentwood. We got married in Pardo, Cebu, Philippines in 1995 and at the reception we released White Doves, one of which did a 'Toilet' on my Wedding Suit ! She was 34 years young and innocent , no Boy Friends and came over to England for a few months paid for by her Brother-in-Law as a 'Thank You' for supervising the building of his house -- he had to go to Court for 18 months before British Government would grant her a Visa. She had 102 men after her and her Sister would take her around and meet three or four in one day -- she met men with Porsches, BMW's and big businesses -- I had only a Ford Escort Diesel that kept failing the MOT test BUT I did have a PENTAX ---- !!!

Congratulations!

If I'd known Pentax was irresistible to women I'd have taken mine out with me more often!

They are irresistible to women if you club them with it before dragging them off like I do!

Thanks to all -- well she looks after me -- " Would you like a Cup of Tea Dear ? " -- " Oh YES please Dear " --- " Would you like some Philippine style Fried Bananas Dear ? " -- " Oh YES please Dear " -- I must be the only Old Bloke in Brentwood tucking into delicious Fried Bananas in Batter ---On our first 'Date' I took her to Maldon, Essex and treated her to a 65pence ice-cream 'Feast' on a stick but she declined the offer of a boat ride ( well I must admit the 'Boat' looked as if it had survived being Dive-Bombed at Dunkirk in 1940 --- )
and she came to Queen's Hospital in Romford and sat with me every day while i was plugged into my Chemotherapy in 2008 ---
