Graduation

Graduation day saw Mum and Dad come up from Bracknell and Alex dash up after half a day at work for a late afternoon ceremony. We were lucky with the weather, since the preceeding and following days were very wet but the sun appeared for the occasion. It was quite a long ceremony with the chancellor, Chris Patten, having a chat with quite a few of us in the process of conferring our degrees. The day was topped off with a really nice meal in a fish restaurant on the quayside at North Shields
