The horns of 2007:
Having achieved what many thought was impossible, and acquiring a degree (albeit a music degree). The time came for me to collect my degree. I was very honored that Our and Our Mother were able to attend my graduation ceremony. It was also a superb chance to catch up with my colleagues of the year of 2007, many of whom are studying or working abroad. The horns of 2007 reconvened for the first time in over 6 months.
The ceremony was held at the impressive and very prestigious Great Hall of the Guildhall of the City of London; not the unimpressive and not very prestigious Semigreat Hall of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama as the parents had assumed. Once the robes were donned and many thousands of photos taken we filed into the Great Hall to receive our degrees and various points of wisdom from the Mayor of London and other important people. It was actually a very meaningful and dare I say moving ceremony, followed by free wine and food.
As an extra bonus, Our Parents had time the following day to travel down to the Isle of Wight, where I was working and managed to get to my concert that evening. I believe they had a super day exploring and rediscovering spots of interest from Our Fathers past, I presume their blog contains details?? They then drove me home which was rather nice, although we did get rather lost in London. They even bought me a nice coat before leaving the following afternoon.

Yes, we certainly had a wonderful time in London and were very proud to be going to yet another graduation ceremony. How many does that make? I've rather lost count.
Seeing as we aren't able to get on line easily,(We're in Southern England borrowing our hosts internet at present) we haven't had time to mention minor details like the Isle of Wight. Suffice it to say, we really enjoyed the day and have very happy memories.
Hope the coat is comfortable and useful.
