Tomorrow we are driving cross country to Hertfordshire to collect my youngest daughter, Kat. The last time we saw her in August she was about to commence ten challenging weeks of basic training with the Royal Air Force. She graduated in November, swore her oath to the Queen and is now a fully inducted airwoman. We can’t wait to hear what she’s been up to.
Christmas will give us some precious days with her before she goes off to Shropshire to commence her three year apprenticeship in aircraft mechanical engineering. I still can’t believe my girly girl is doing this!
Let's hope she doesn't meet a bloody vegan.
ReplyDeleteYes, horrible people I hear. No morals whatsoever.
DeleteAnd they have beards.
DeleteI bet you are so proud of her, quite an achievement. She looks a lot like you.
ReplyDeleteVery proud.
DeleteA brave and beautiful daughter.
ReplyDeleteThank you Yael.
DeleteFantastic! Beautiful and smart - a winning combination. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteShe's got a lot going for her, she just doesn't realise it.
DeleteIsn't it strange seeing what our children become. You expect them to become a doctor, and they become a dentist instead (not mine).
ReplyDeleteMine have certainly surprised me. (A dentist in the family would have been very useful though.)
DeleteMany congratulations to her, and all the very best for the future. Marvellous that she has had the courage of her convictions to follow her dream.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm very proud of her.
DeleteCongratulations to Katy! Kids grow up too fast! You have a lovely family Sue.
ReplyDeleteI made the Dundee cake, thanks to you Sue, and I'm so very pleased with it - I'm going to sin of pride when I take it to our family Christmas lunch! I don't think any of my family has tasted one before.
Greetings Maria x
I'm so pleased the cake turned out well for you Maria. I hope your family enjoy it.
DeleteWonderful training provided when you take the Queen's 10p. Good for her, one can only hope that she gets to use her skills before someone in Air Force blue takes her fancy.
ReplyDeleteShe seems pretty focused on the job at the moment!
DeleteWow! Your daughter is a BADASS! I love it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Katy!
Ha-ha, she sure is.
DeleteShe is obviously following her dream. I'm so glad our children are able to choose their path and do what they WANT to do. that way they usually succeed.
ReplyDeleteWe just want them to be happy, the right path isn't always obvious.
