The Joys of Parenthood

Today was a very special day in the Crook household. Holly, my daughter, was one of thousands of students up and down the country going to collect her A Level results. She came away with an A Star, an A and a B grade for the three subjects she took.

Am I a ridiculously proud and teary-eyed, sentimental and smug grinning old duffer? You bet I am!

Many, many congratulations to my darling daughter - you have made mum and I so proud!

    Hi Paul,

    Cheers old chap! We are so proud of her - especially as she managed to dislocate her knee only a couple of weeks before sitting her final exams. She just got on with it, crutches and all.

    Drop me a line off piste as we have not had a catch up for ages.

    All the best,

    DC

    A very good haul from the qualifications chest. I hope that gives her enough to get the job/university she wants.

    Hi Clint,

    Hi Legatus,

    For a whole pile of reasons it was a magnificent effort as Holly had to contend with a number problesm along the way.

    It all turned out well though at the end!

    All the best,
