Default Sometimes it all makes sense!!

My wife is overseas getting her family ready for our 2nd wedding. This will be the big one - I'm getting married in uniform and she'll have a big bash. All I have to do is turn up..then we will have a 4 week break OS.

She called me from the US enroute where she is staying with her sister. She said "Mike, I really love Australia. The people are so much nicer than here." It's the first time I have heard her say it with that particular tone.

Now, Mrs B wants to be here, but she tells of missing London - that is not to say she actually wants to go back but of course, she naturally misses a few things. I guess her trip has made her realise that Australia is pretty amazing after all...

Congratulation on your second wedding.

Men always look great in uniform at weddings (well except postman pat etc) -I mean Army, Air Force, Navy

I'm sure Mrs Badge will be impressed
