When I was young my mother planted a mock orange shrub in the garden. She said it would be ready for me to carry some on my wedding day.
She died before I was married but I made sure my bouquet contained some of the orange blossom from our garden. Today the house I grew up in is being renovated and the garden is a tip. I suspect the orange blossom won't have survived, which is a shame as it's a very good year for all blossom. This tree is in our garden now.
And here we were almost forty years ago.

It really is a wonderful fragrance, your mother was wise.

Congratulations! Still going strong...
I only had my husband 17 years before the big C hit us like a tidal wave.
but I'd like to think we'd have had what you have. because we laughed!
I have always said that laughter is the magic glue.
Happy (belated!) Anniversary dear Liz! xo
