Proud Parent Post.

This is just a proud parent squee!

Daughter-dear has an unconditional offer to study post-grad Law next year at the College of Law in York - exactly what and where she wanted.

She comments that Permission to fuck up all the rest of my exams has been granted I guess!
But knowing her I don't think she is likely to start slacking... Well I hope not!

She was actually home on a flying visit at the weekend, to attend a couple of important birthday celebrations, and to say goodbye to her 'best friend since playgroup' who is going travelling for a year or two. They went out for afternoon tea, and D-d was wearing a skirt that I really love, so when she got home I took her photograph.

The only thing is that she had been walking close to the sea, and also crying at saying goodbye to Jenny, and so, when I looked properly at the picture, her beautiful skirt is all blotchy!

That's fabulous news... congratulations to her! And the skirt is lovely.

I actually saw your daughter and her friends in town on Saturday... not that I know them, of course, but I recognised your daughter and (is it Jenny?) her friend from the recent charity pics!

Congrats on her accomplishment... and yours, because good students have good parents, usually. Your daughter is very pretty. :)

Many, many congratulations! Bask, relax and be happy! You must have done something right and maybe it was worth all those agonizing races to the ferry to get her to college on time.

Pretty all around! Though next time tell her to look at the camera. :D

Many congratulations! It's a relief to have things settled, especially when it goes exactly as planned and wished. It's so wonderful to see our children succeed.

Lovely ensemble, but the girl outshines it all.

How wonderful! Although studying law...I never like to encourage that ;) Congratulations to D-d though, and you're right to be proud.
