Thanks Teresa, not sure I'll be able to fit that in lol but if we pass it then I will definitely have a look! Maz. XX

Maz, there is a big Wyevale in Bury St Edmunds........

that's good to know Yvette - they have a lovely garden - f-i-l tends it, m-i-l sits in it pmsl Maz. XX

Maz, it was my parents Ruby anniversary last year, and they were given the ruby anniversary rose, they were not sure if they liked it at the time as despite being keen gardeners they were not rose lovers. This year it has flowered so much they are converted, lol Yvette

thanks Jess, another good idea, they do love their grub! Teresa I can't find that book - can you help please?! Maz. XX

pleased you are sorted Maz!! good luck and have fun lol Val:~)

Most Wyvale garden centres stock the rose ' Ruby wedding ' Are they into food treats? A basket of Red Foods? a nice strawberry jam Red onion Chutney red leicester cheese (running out of red food here!)

now THAT'S more my budget Paul lol Jean and Claire, thank you, I think that is what I will get. Teresa, I will look at that as well, thank you! Val, I thought of Port, but m-i-l rarely drinks and f-i-l would rather have a cold beer I reckon lol!! Thank you everyone, I think I am sorted now :-))) Maz. XX

I agree with Lizzy,,,the rose is a great idea and not too expensive, I have given this as a present a couple of times,,,plus the one 'Silver Wedding' and also' Celebration'. My daughter also gave me a beautiful climbing rose named 'Wedding Day',,on the day she got married, I wrapped my gift roses up in the apropriate coloured paper and tied lots of streamer ribbons to it,

If they like a drink.. a nice bottle of Ruby Port goes down well good luck lol Val:~)

Maz, Past Times do a lovely book called ' Memories.' It's aimed at grandparents and encourages them to write down all their memories so they can one day pass it on to their grandchildren. I bought it for in laws and they were delighted.

ok then if times are that hard take them out for a large ruby! a ruby murray. lol!

Paul, thanks but I could just about afford a kite pmsl!! Mags thats brilliant, I will have a look :-)) Maz. XX
