The scene was set....
And now I'm back home blogging this..whilst he is, hopefully, having one helluva time
The band started up....
All we needed now were the 'performers' and of course an audience!
I was there to celebrate a certain young man's further achievements.
Like a mum at her child's first sports day , I was just looking out for my little dear ;-)
But the Chancellor of Exeter University, Floella Benjamin,(remember her of 'Playschool' fame all those years ago?)..well she was looking out for them ALL. She greeted them all in such a way to make them feel so special and her speech was lovely...similar to last time but very lovely.
And she is so beautiful .
Floella wants every Exeter student to go out into the world with the 4 'C's...
Confidence
Consideration
Contentment
Courage

Back to the Graduation Ceremony...
Soon it was Nich's turn ...
Apparently, Floella told him what a lovely smile he had...!
To which he replied...
' My mum has still got plenty of Ikea Rosali fabric at home if you are interested.'
(Just joking with that bit! LOL)
And now I'm back home blogging this..whilst he is, hopefully, having one helluva time
