end of an era! no.2.son's certificate evening

Well its the end of an era! the last time we shall be going to a "school" event!

No.2.son had his Certificate presentation evening for their GSCE exams and it was a nice evening hosted with enthusiasm as the Head Master was proud to announce a super set of records for high achievements for the 2nd year running meaning a good result all round for "school" and students.
Hard to get our heads around the fact that our "children" are no longer "school children" particularly as no.1.son has both worked in a job and is now at Uni studying and away from home - how fast they grow up? and yet it only seems like yesterday that they were moving up from primary to secondary school!  time plays tricks on you!  and its played a terrible trick on me this month! its very nearly DECEMBER! already? how did THAT happen? what happened to November? where did it go? I'm starting to panic! and flung half a bottle of sherry at 800g of mixed fruit and plan to bake it into a Christmas and hope to finish it before Christmas!! phew! xx
