Had to announce to my good friends in the BC, that after 36 years with the lovely Helen, we finally have done the deed in Vermont. USA.
Vermont - the most liberal state in the US - for $100, we got an old friend to marry us.....
The vows he'd concoted suprised us -
Helen, do you promise to give up swearing so much ?
"I do"
Mark, do you promise to finsh the patio by Christmas ?
"I do" (oh bugger) - he got me......
Fantastic fortnight we had - seeing old friends who went to the States and never came back.
Ended up in Boston with Dan Gilbey - haven't seen him since art-school days - what's in his living room? - a collection of cocktail shakers.....

Fair play. Just a document but makes all the difference.
Funnily enough we got hitched in New York last April, under the Statue of Liberty .
Worked out about the same as doing it here. We were in Times Square as they tried to diffuse that car bomb :0

Cheers to you all - and thanks for all the wishes...
Helen & I have reached a certain age (no kids) & suddenly realised. that if one of us dies, the other cannot afford to stay in the house we built together. Inheritance tax @ 40 %.
The wills we made years ago, don't mean a carrott - now we're officially married - no probs - auto goes to your spouse ?
Gonna have a f**k off hoollie to celebrate a bit later this summer - all BC chaps are invited of course - sorry that all spare rooms are taken - bring a tent or book in to local B&B....
Will post when & where, shoretely....
What are the odds on the enigmatic Simeon making it ....?
