So far on our blog we have noted a marriage, a graduation & the impending birth of our 1st grandchild but these are not the only life changes that our children have been experiencing since we started on our travels.
There have been a few birthdays, of course, & since Harcus & Angus turned 20 on the 17th of may, we find that we are no longer the parents of teenagers. The twins have just finished their 2nd years of student life. Angus has been successful in gaining sponsorship through his 5 year degree from Rolls Royce & will be starting his 1st summer work placement in Derby very soon. Harcus is now President of Edinburgh University's Role Playing Society, as well as the Board Game Society (we're not sure how much studying he's doing!). Steven has completed his degree at Liverpool University - we're looking forward to his graduation in July. Laura has set off to Australia with friends for a year of work & play. Alexandra has got her 1st full time job as a programme co-ordinator with the charity Common Purpose. Valla has set off alone to travel in Central & South America for 6 months - so far she's been in Mexico & Guatemala - prior to starting a Masters degree in Social Policy in the Autumn. And Matthew? Well, he's doing fantastic work in his allotment - & he's the expectant father!
As always, we're proud of them all. They may be out of sight but they're never out of mind.
