Today is our six year anniversary of living in London. We never expected to be here this long. When we first arrived we had no kids, we weren't married, we didn't have jobs - we were (relatively) young and were looking forward to exploring Europe.
How things have changed.
We're married, have a family, have jobs and haven't been to Europe for well over a year.
For this anniversary I thought we'd provide a little photographic journey of the past six years...

What a lovely blog :) It's so special when you take the time to look back on parts of your life's journey.
ReplyDeleteWhat a special photo up the Eiffel Tower! I think the best you can wish for in the next 6 years is Hard Work and Happiness. Where ever you are.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Simon. Forgot what our little daughter looked like pregnant. Mum said you have been there six years its time to get home. Not bad advise. Cheers Phil
