The proposal had been made and accepted the previous year but my Father said we had to wait until I was eighteen before getting engaged ....... we were a month short!!

| Cinema today |
We used to take my niece to the pictures on Sundays, to the Jacey Cartoon Theatre which had non stop cartoons showing all day.
On this particular Sunday we decided we would do the dastardly deed and, after the showing, we headed off the the Local Paper's Office.
Back in the day, one announced big celebrations through the Personal Column and so, with my niece sat upon the counter - all of three years old which drew some evil looks from the lady taking down the details. lol - we worded the announcement, paid and came home.
The next publication caused quite a stir, neighbours came round to congratulate me, family wrote cards and my Father fumed!!
I had a beautiful ruby and diamond ring which I loved (I sold it for a £1 when I got married again but that is another story!) especially how it sparkled on my finger ....... sweet seventeen ......
So today I have been creating coins -
The subject is, of course, Cats, Cats, Cats.
Oxide inks for the background, fussy cut images from the web, computer printed sentiments, cut, stuck and edged. They will go off in the post on Monday.
