It's our 41st anniversary so we decided to go out for lunch. Thanks Dot for the lovely hand made card.
We decided on Speights Ale House in Palmerston North, setting off on a rather drizzly morning. As the ads say, real men drink Speights.

We were soon seated, and checked out the menus. What to have, that's always the question. Although I love pork belly, I decided to go with something different, and chose bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with pesto and cream cheese, and cherry sauce, very tasty indeed. Robin couldn't go past the battered blue cod, and declared it perfect. I had to forgo my usual small bottle of bubbly, due to my current medication, but enjoyed a glass of pineapple juice instead. It was a small red wine for Robin, and we touched glasses and said "Cheers" for another happy year together. We reminisced about our 40th anniversary last year celebrated with a week in Rotorua.
Fish and chicken for lunch
The restaurant was quite busy so rather than bother the waiting staff, we took our own photos.
Happy 41st Anniversary to us
On the way back home we called in to Lewis Farms for another lovely big bunch of asparagus. We have to make the most of this delicacy as the season usually finishes just prior to Christmas. Just as well we didn't have dessert at the restaurant so there was room for a big strawberry ice-cream for him, and a nice hot coffee for me.

I always put my quilt "Hearts of Love", made to celebrate our 25th anniversary in 2009, on the bed during November, our anniversary month, and again in February, to celebrate St Valentine.

Congratulations to you both. We enjoyed a meal at one of the Speights restaurants. A nice place for you to celebrate. That is a lovely bunch of “Sparrow Grass”. We too enjoy it while in season.
Happy anniversary to you both!!:)))) Looks like you had a great celebratory luncheon together--how wonderful...
I hope you have many more--hugs, Julierose
Happy Anniversary!
That sounds the perfect way to celebrate 41 years of marriage. We celebrate 41 years back in July. We spent some time reminiscing about things that happened in those years. Wishing you both health and happiness in the coming year.
What a pair of lovely softies you are, many congratulations and more to come, love from Elaine in UK
Happy Anniversary. What a lovely celebration. That ice cream looked a bit decadent! Your special quilt us beautiful xx
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! What fun to get out like that. That is a big number. I am wife #3, so we have had a short time together!!!
What a nice way to spend your anniversary. Forty-one years is a goodly amount of time together (I'm going on 53 years. Yikes!) I had to smile when I saw photos of each of you. It's not unusual that long term couples will dress in the same colors by accident. It seems you've been together long enough that you make similar choices. :-)
