Thanks everyone for your cards and messages, they've all been gratefully received. It's nice to know that we've got a little support for what we're doing!
The main feedback we're getting is questions about the ring, so we've put a couple of photos here. Click each one to see it bigger.
I purchased the ring all by myself with no guidance, and I'm feeling quite pleased with myself. It's platinum with a single diamond and made by a company called Cottrils. For those of you who've been to Macc; this is the shop that's on the main square by the town hall.
