1. We stop on The Common, in the December woods. Nick has something for me: a question and a ring.
2. I hug Nick and I feel as if I never want to let him go. But we have roast beef waiting for us at his parents' house, and some news to share. I put my gloves in my bag and we hurry on down the hill holding my hand so we can both see my great grandmother's Victorian diamonds in their new setting.
3. Chocolate ladybirds in red and black foil hide in the fruit bowl.

Clare -
Best wishes to you and Nick. It has been so lovely following your romance on 3BT. My eyes welled up a bit when I read your news.
My niece Abigail and her longtime boyfriend Curtis were engaged on Christmas night, too.
Congratulations to you both. Wishing you much joy as you plan your life together.
De-lurking to say: Congratulations Nick and Claire!
How perfectly lovely.
congratulations! please can you post a link to the 3BTs when you meet him/significant moments etc, so latecomers to the site can read the story as well?!
Oh, that is just perfect... and extra kudos to Nick for choosing just the right place to propose.
Am thrilled for you both. X
