Reading a friend's blog this evening, he was celebrating milestones in his daughters lives, it is so important to mark these, to remember them.
Tim and I were looking at photos of our children recently, remembering fun times and hard times alike.
He remembered Joanne's delight at completing a 10 mile bike ride to visit her grandparents, how they'd stopped on the way to look round an old Church...
I was remembering Chris and Jon's first canoe lesson, how they'd enjoyed it and laughed as they splashed one another...
Today though we were continuing to mark the milestone of leaving home, I dropped Jon and some friends in Kings Lynn where they are performing at an "Open Mike evening", it will be one of their last get together before they all head in different directions.
Joanne has spent the evening going through Sheffield's Freshers week booklet, deciding which events she wants to go to, typically for Jo, she has made a list and carefully calculated the cost!
Their mounting excitement is infectious...
... and so Tim and I are planning a much needed break on Holy Island in late October, something we haven't been able to do for some time!
