My husband was rendered temporarily speechless when our future son-in-law (nearly 35) 'phoned to ask permission to marry our daughter (31)! I asked Ali if the proposal was romantic... "Not really," she said, "I was half-way up a ladder at the time!" (I should add that 'renovations' of old houses are their favourite pastime!) The wedding is in December – will I have time to finish the handkerchief?
