Another Year Over And A New One Just Begun
Whilst making my annual Summer visit to the States last year, a friend asked me how things were going with my nineteen year old girlfriend. I smiled softly and replied that I was not dating a nineteen year old any more. Said friend appeared sympathetic and asked what had happened. I smiled more broadly and replied that she had had a birthday.
By much the same process, I am no longer dating a twenty year old. My darling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
miss_amaranth turned twenty-one yesterday! I would be a bad boyfriend for not writing about it in this journal on the day... except that the delay was caused by spending the entire weekend with her, helping to celebrate the start of her twenty-second year.
Over the course of the weekend, we had various friends over for hanging out and gaming; we had a fantastic dinner at Pink Giraffe and a yummy breakfast at Atomic Burger; we had cake and presents! To wind down the weekend,miss_amaranth and I took a long stroll along the Thames Path yesterday evening. We walked about five miles, from the Osney Bridge[*] past the Osney Lock, through Oxford City Centre, past the Foley Bridge and the Donnington Bridge, past the Iffley Lock, and finally making it just outside of the ring road before turning around to come back again.
With such jubilations, we celebrated the birth of my beautiful partner! Twas a very good weekend, indeed!
[*] Lowest headroom of any bridge on the Thames.
