gracesmum, that poem of Rabbie's really does say it all. My Other 'arf and I have been together for just over 42 years now. I still remember how he attracted me - he stood and smiled and tipped his head to the one side. He wore a charcoal grey round-necked jumper with a white shirt under, and the collar was inside it - not over the top of the jumper. I don't know how he saw me or what he saw, but I still remember how I felt then........quite determined, actually....
42 - (but of course I was a child bride - barely legal 
) I think that once you get past certain points, unless something dramatic happens it becomes easier to poddle along together, don't you?
I think oor Rabbie got it right in this lovely, tender poem:
John Anderson, my jo, John,
When we were first acquent;
Your locks were like the raven,
Your bonie brow was brent;
But now your brow is beld, John,
Your locks are like the snaw;
But blessings on your frosty pow,
John Anderson, my jo.
John Anderson, my jo, John,
We clamb the hill thegither;
And mony a cantie day, John,
We've had wi' ane anither:
Now we maun totter down, John,
And hand in hand we'll go,
And sleep thegither at the foot,
John Anderson, my jo.
