Taking a blanket they headed for their favourite spot a secluded place in a glade beside the gurgling river this haven was filled with the scent of damask roses and sweet honeysuckle grew rampantly up the trees Laying the fleecy blanket on the soft grassy ground sank down into each others arms with gentle sighs the moonlight was filtering down between the trees lending a sense of romance, oh how they loved it here Slowly. softly they began to caress gently stirring passions their exuberant loving sighs carrying in the still night airs afterwards they would lie spoon shaped, sated by love then slowly they gathered up their blanket with a last kiss Time now to return to their every day life's of the mundane treasuring these stolen hours that added most romantic spice after twenty five years of marriage and raising five children it was these precious moments that renewed their love
