The news at ten
Hello hello,
Given my lack of regular posting, rather than go for an edited highlights of the last few months (In short -drumming, sleeping, busy and busy...) heres my happiness.
I'm getting Handfasted!
At Beltane Jen and I will be tied together by the May Queen and from then joined for a year and a day.
I'm excited, and nervous and very, very pleased.
The main impetus to do it is of course love - don’t need to explain that :), but there are also very practical considerations that have led to the decision. Jen is leaving in June to travel around the world for 6 months (ticket sorted long before we met dammit) and we've decided we want to stay together but, it’s a hell of a long time to be apart.
So, that in mind Handfasting is a physical tie that begins with an intention and gives us a time line - so, no matter what happens, (good, or bad - god forbid) in a year and a day we will meet up and discuss where we're going.
What that conversation will be we cant know, just hope, but the certainty that it will happen both tempers and sures up my inherent romanticism. Which is all very wise :)
So that’s the goodness. Big fat, grin-mongering yes.
