Great news!

This weekend just gone Carmen and I went to a little place on the South Coast called Bewong River Retreat and, amongst consuming our bodyweight in seafood and doing very, very little, I finally popped the question.

And Carmen said yes!!!

I wrote her a story, the last page of which held the proposal and when she - somewhat tearfully - looked up, there was yours truly, on one knee with the ring.

And she said yes!!! :)

Although, after 6 years and several conversations on the subject, it was probably the safest bet since an 80 year old billionaire proposed to a young, blonde bimbo.

So, all things being equal, we're going to get married some time late November/early December next year.
