The Wedding of the Year

Arriving. Left to right: my younger son's fiancée, my sister, my younger son, me.

Pretending to sign the register. The civil ceremony was surprisingly moving.

The bride and her two sisters.

My sons.

Mostly paparazzi. My Beloved is at the back; I've got hardly any pictures of him because he was so busy taking photos himself.

The bride and groom.

Well, I had to dance at my son's wedding.

Proud parent

Yesterday my younger son graduated from University with a Physics degree. I am unbearably proud.

The ceremony was a struggle for me to sit through, except for the part where my son went up to shake hands with Penelope Keith, but the reception was lovely. We may be back next year with any luck, as he's going on to do a Masters in Nanotechnology.

My older son got his degree in Computer Science several years ago. I didn't have a blog then, so I want to say now that I'm unbearably proud of him too!

I'll spend the next few days recovering but it was worth it.

Gnome army alert

I know it's late but I couldn't resist showing you this Mother's Day card from one of my sons. (I did ask his permission first.)

You have been warned. Get your anti-gnome armour now, before it's too late.
