of Holly, aged 14, who achieved 100% success at school in New Zealand, and Patrick, aged 13, who achived 99%. I think he will be working very hard next term to get that elusive 1%. He is apparently a born linguist and is outstanding at Japanese, which is a very useful language to have in that part of the world.
Their mum's calls always make me so happy - she herself is having a wonderful time with her riding lessons and is now getting on to the harder dressage moves.

soop and Greatnan well done to your GC, you are right to be proud of them. Glamma I agree we need a "I want to boast about the Grandchildren emoticon.

Greatnan Thu 28-Jun-12 13:29:17

That is great, soop, she must have worked very hard.
Yes, I agree we need a thread for our little boasts and thank you for all your comments. Knowing my problems with my other family, you can understand how much this means to me
