Graduation Day

Today was a special day. Up to Newcastle for the last* time for Lucy's graduation at Northumbria University.

Our second one, following Joe's a year ago in Leeds, today was another sunny and warm affair.

Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson gave one of her final speeches as Chancellor, as this will be her last year before she steps down, full of emotion as she described what a brilliant place it is.

Lucy graduated with the university winning The Times Modern University of the Year 2025. She also graduated with a 1st too. 

3 years ago there was disappointment as she missed out on a place at Newcatsle University, to do the same course. A Uni I had gone too, one I could see down the road today BUT that disappointment is forgotten, and may even have been misplaced anyhow...she's loved every minute and its a town where students from both mix and live in shared accommodation.

Weirdly, there were 2 Lucy Brereton's graduating today, they met in week 1 of year 1, but out of all the names, not sure anyone else doubled up today!

I'm very proud of her and her big [lol] brother, just wish my mum and dad could have met them and seen them get to days like today.

Anyway....she's already back at to work tomorrow!






*bollocks, we'll be back, can't keep away!
