On 1st August 2009 at 1.45pm I pulled up the long drive leading to the most beautiful place. Past the golden and green fields around me that seemed to stretch for miles and with tyres splashing in puddles from the incessant rain that had descended on that first day of August. That day also known as our wedding day!
For a while now, years in fact, we have been meaning to visit the National Memorial Arboretum. It is literally a 15 minute drive from us in Staffordshire and so there’s really no good excuse except we had just never gotten around to it. That is until a few weeks ago, and since then we have been back three times already – a testament to how amazing it really is.
