Last and first

A rather significant couple of days for K - she took her last A-Level yesterday, and while she's officially on the register until the end of term next month, that effectively marked her last day as a schoolgirl, given that she doesn't have to go in this half term except for exams. And today, she's gone off on what might be described as her first 'adult' holiday - she had her American adventure two years ago, but that involved staying with the families of people she already knew, while this trip is just her and her best friend from school off to the Canary Islands sunshine and staying in a hotel. Two 'growing-up' milestones, without a doubt.

Love & best wishes to all

    1. Hello Andy
      K has long been an independent and self-confident individual, and without undue conceit on the part of my ex and I, that isn't accidental, because our parenting philosophy had that very outcome, amongst others, of course, in mind. And yes, the Canaries are delightful, certainly from my perspective, and pretty accessible from the UK, too, the flight time being around four hours. Would that I was there, rather than in rainy Middlesex!

      Love & best wishes
