I don’t talk about my relationship with Kate much on here – mainly because she prefers her relative obscurity on the net. But I am very happy to post that we got engaged on October 25th in Paris. It was a cold day, with a queue that looked around 3 hours long at the Eiffel Tower. I mistakenly gave Kate the choice and she opted out, which kicked my Plan A into touch. I re-grouped and asked her in the gardens, and she said yes.
Last weekend, we went ring shopping in Hatton Garden. For those who don’t know, this is the Jeweler’s Quarter of London, and almost gave me a heart attack as soon as we stopped at the first shop. There were rings at over 10,000 pounds. That is about NZ$25,000. Way too rich for me. However, we did choose a magnificent, which I duly took out a mortgage for – and it will be ready to pick up in a couple of weekends time. I’m sure those of you who know me will see it in due course.
Thank you, lovely Kate – you’ve made me very happy

Congratulations on your engagement.
Thank you so much. And very nice job on the new web page. How are things? I have been following some of the conversation on Oceania Sikhs mailing list. Sometimes it is quitr hard to follow, but it makes my heart sink to see so much self-interest on the parts of some people. Anyway, I hope you and your family are well and enjoying the summer.
