Talk about an unexpected joyous moment you experienced last year.
Going to The Daughter's graduation from Birmingham City University at Birmingham Symphony Hall.
Which might sound like a normal experience, but:
Instead of taking A-levels (the academic post-16 route in England), she went to college and gained a BTEC National Diploma in Outdoor Activities (with 3 distinctions)
She then trained as a paediatric nurse, getting a 2:2 degree from Coventry University
Then, eleven years later, having changed career and taking a block release degree, so working as an Ambulance Technician/Student Paramedic at the same time, she gained a First Class degree in Paramedic Science.
Hence the joy!
