Today my in-laws celebrate 60 years of marriage. Well done them!

Ailz took it upon herself to alert the Queen. Owing to one thing and another- mainly ill-health- the letter only went in the post this Monday. We assumed we'd blown it and the latter of congratulations from the Palace would be late. Not a bit of it. My ma-in-law just rang to announce that the postman had arrived a little before eight.  "Sorry to get you up so early," he said, "but it's from the Queen!" Well done, her!

Oh, cool. I thought it was just centenarians who got the royal letterhead; having a letter to share on an anniversary is lovely. The aged Japanese get silver sake cups (slightly shrunken this year).

My grandparents had three quarters of a century together; may your in-laws celebrate many more years of happiness.

Three quarters of a century- that's truly amazing!

I want one of those saki cups; they're charming.
