Clever Children

The postman has just delivered an enormous pile of mail, most of which has gone straight into the paper recycling bag, but one letter has made me very happy and proud.

Cecily's school has invited us to a prize giving celebration next month because she has won a prize in recognition of her achievement in Health & Social Care ~ a very nice reflection of her efforts and the subjects she is studying at university.

Five years ago, Alec won the school prize for mathematics and then he went on to gain a 2.1 in his physics degree at Bristol University.

How I made such clever children I am not sure, but they do make me feel like I have done a pretty good job at instilling in them the importance of a good education and of choosing a career that makes the most of their interests as well as their skills.

Well done to both my babies ~ I am very proud of you both!
