Memorandum Monday: Journeys

Monday is here again and it's a big hi to Sian and all the other Monday bloggers. It's time to think about what's new around here or what we have learnt over the weekend. I am stretching the weekend back to Thursday which for our family and for many families around the country was a landmark day. Our youngest received her A Levels results at the crack of dawn. The email arrived at 6am and despite her achieving in my opinion great results there followed two hours of tears, worry and anxiety until UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admission Service) reopened its website. This soon changed to jubilation when she then discovered that her first choice university had accepted her.

                    

So off she will go on her new journey in life along with all her friends who also have their preferred choice. Good luck to them all.

Talking of journeys, we have a family tradition of following any family member who is traveling with a map on the kitchen wall. I have used the most recent pinned journey and some of the photos younger daughter sent us of her trip around Europe to fulfill another item for the Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt, No 16 A map showing a trip taken during the time period. 

                     

So whose journey will be on the kitchen wall next? Well the news here is that it's likely to be the farmer and I off next! Not quite yet but I have something to plan as the nights draw in and to keep my mind off our little girl settling into university. So what guide books have I got out?

      

So watch out Auntie Vicky. It looks like we will be coming your way. I have only waited more than 35 years for this!
