Nick's Scholarship Award


John and me were both really proud parents today, when we took Nick to RAF Cranwell to receive his John Cunningham Scolarship award (he gained his private pilot's license a few months ago with this scholarship). He was one of only 4 cadets in the country to receive this award this year, and we were almost in tears when it was announced that he was the overall winner. We are SO proud of you Nick, and hope you achieve your dream to join the RAF next year.
The only black spot in the day was when I went to take a picture.....and found that I'd left the camera battery in the charging unit at home, aargh!!! So this picture from my mobile 'phone is all I have until I receive the official photo's. I am having too many senior moments these days..

Party Night



Our caravan site had an end of season fancy dress party, so we had great fun choosing who to be for the evening! The platform boots made me feel like a giant, and it was weird seeing John with long hair and matching platforms too! Polly looked fab with a short bob, too, and we're all now deciding who to dress up as next year!

We packed up the caravan today, she will now go into storage until March next year. It was a bit sad, as it's become our second home and there were a few tears as we said Goodbye to our friends. On the bright side, I may have more time to catch up with Nick's A to Z scrapbook now!
