I'm not sure how it started. I think it was finding an old calendar of The Mr's. An old calendar in which he had hastily written short snippets of a few things that happened during our dating time. A few years after we were married we came across these little notes. One had the {two} dates he proposed. We can't really visit the place of the first proposal so we decided to go back and visit the place of the second proposal. We've been doing this for a number of years now.
The girls have been asking all month - 'when are we going to Our Hill. When will we have dinner on the tallest hill and then roll down it?' Its became as much a part of them as it is a part of us.
This year I was spoilt with a rose and chocolates. I suppose 15 years deserves some sort of recognition. Roses are the flower for 15 years. The man does his research. I had no idea :)
Other visits to our hill here: 2012 2011 2010 2008
Our Hill reminds us how to love and keep loving, the example we set our children, the importance of righteous traditions, to take time for family, to keep the flame burning, to realise what future comes of those early decisions, to keep our future bright. As bright as the sunset on our day at the hill.
