announcing the engagement of........

at last, my son nicholas, has asked his long time love of 6 years, helen blake to be his wife.
it all happened on valentines day and with much planning involved.
nicholas was to take helen for a drive, on the pretence of viewing a vehicle. on the way nicholas informed helen that they no longer had to look at this vehicle, so he suggested they go for a walk along seven mile beach.
nicholas had arranged with his friends, to be there with nickle and helens 'puppies, loki and teeka and make it look like a coincidence. well it was planned loki would have the engagement ring, tied to his neck with a big bow and would run along the beach towards the unsuspecting helen.
all would have gone to plan except......it was a public holiday and everyone had their doggies on the beach that day, so loki and teeka were somewhat distracted by all these other puppies, but managed to get to helen.
she was saying what have they done to him? what is around his neck? nicholas acted vague and said, i wonder!
anyway, helen was thrilled and of course said YES. i think a celebration party is in the planning stages and i am looking forward to seeing helens parents, lynne and mark, and congratulating them on a wonderful, soon to be son in law. i am very proud!
