Hey, congratulations to them both, and to the proud Mum too!
I shall pass your kind words on Cathy, those two are bright young things, who light up our lives. 🙂
Proud mum then 🙂
Tickled pink! 🙂
Just lovely! Congrats to all.
I shall pass on your congratulations Jen, they were the best flowers in my week!
Congrats to Lottie and Jack! As Tom Brokaw said, “Think of it as your ticket to change the world.”
Thanks Marian, after four years of very hard work they have so many opportunities and responsibilities now, Tom Brokaw has it right.
What a big day! Congratulations to the graduates and to you!
Thanks Susie, we are so proud, I shall pass your congratulations on. 🙂
there are priceless moments in our lives…this is one of them. Congratulations, Mom.
Priceless is just the right word John, they have fledged and started their own new journeys. Thank you.
That’s great. Well done all!
Thanks, I shall tell them, both our girls have now left home after years of study, despite my constant moaning I quite miss the piles of paper and books everywhere.
Hooray! Congrats and congrats. To the graduates and their parents too!
Thanks Cynthia, they are just starting on their new adventures now and we feel so excited for them.
Congratulation to them both. You have captured that moment so beautifully.
We are so proud Su, both girls have left home after uni now and are making their own way in the world, exciting times for them, peaceful for us and time to do something we’d really like to do too.
This is one of those moments when you can look back on your parenting, remember all the times you felt overwhelmed, scared, exhausted and think “yeah, it was all worth it.” Whatever path our children take in life, if they are capable, compassionate adults then we have much cause to celebrate. And you have adventures of your own to plan now. Congratulations to you all.
Thanks Su, you express these feelings so well. I am so glad to have found your blog and read your writings and comments. 🙂
Thank you so much Julie; that’s very kind.
Congratulations to Lottie, Jack and you! I can just imagine how proud you are!
Thanks Clare, I shall pass your kind words on, we are just so excited for them to be making their own way in the world now. We also for the first time in 24 years a very tidy house!
I dream of a tidy house! My youngest won’t be leaving home for some time and my eldest still can’t afford to rent more than a room in a house so her bedroom is still full of her stuff.
Oh Clare, I think the novelty will wear off with me and I’ll be wishing them back fairly soon, meanwhile they still have their stuff in bedrooms here, plus the loft and garage!
I still miss Alice very much and she has been away for some years now. However, it is such a wonderful thing to have such clever and hard-working children isn’t it? Our children leaving home to become successful, independant adults means we have done a good job as parents. Well done, Julie!
Congratulations, Julie to a job well done–by Lottie, Jack…and you!
Thanks Tina, I shared so many happy times as my children grew up observing wildlife and exploring the great outdoors and now one of my greatest delights is to see their continued love for all things wild.
Congratulations, it is in the genes you know!
That made me laugh Brian, my husband kindly says the girls take after me but he is a pretty smart cookie himself. Both of our girls are just grabbing life and making the most of every opportunity and for that I am grateful.
Congratulations!
Thank you kindly, I shall pass then on! 🙂
So exciting! Congratulations to them both.

Thanks Kate, I shall pass your kind words on, it was a really special day too. X

Thanks Amelia. 😀
Getting them to this point is an amazing achievement…Heartfelt congratulations are certainly in order.
Thanks Charlie, we are so proud of both our girls, they make the most of life’s opportunities and are jolly nice people to know too.
Well done! Congrats to the grads. (That’s a fabulous photo!)
Thanks Eliza, I shall pass your congratulations on, we are just a little bit proud! 😀
Wonderful news! Congratulations!
Thanks Jason, I shall pass your kind words on.
