Yes - Mat and I are engaged

BLING!!

Just in case you are reading this blog from the bottom up, yes you read that correctly from my previous post.  I finally now have an engagement ring I absolutely love.


I think we have informed most people but apologies if we have not got around to telling you. We will be celebrating it in some way, but to confirm, Mat and I are engaged. It happened during our Indonesia trip. Specifically, on Friday 13th May whilst watching an electrical storm on Pemuteran beach at Taman Sari resort, northern Bali. It's a good job we're not superstitious!

Unfortunately, the gesture ring Mat bought for the occassion wasn't really 'me' so I got him to swap it for a lovely watch 
instead :-) To mark the passage of time and one year since my cancer diagnosis.

He knows I am a fussy cow so was kind of expecting this.  Anyway, above is my engagement ring. I am very lucky. I have a beautiful ring that I have always wanted but most of all, a most generous and amazing husband-to-be :-)

No date set or even plans made so don't get too excited. We've been together nearly nine years now so you can't really hurry these things...
