Many thanks to all of you who voted for my granddaughter's Love Story - she won with three times as many votes as the next finalist and now gets another N$1,000 worth of jewelley vouchers.
Good luck obviously comes in fours, as she has already won $600 of vouchers, a brand new Ford Fiesta in a different competition and her fiance has been promoted to manager of the largest gym in South Island.
She finishes her nursing degree in a few months , having started just before she was 18, and has been the most successful student they have ever had. She did so well in her first year that she was given a bursary towards her fees in her second year. Sam's promotion means she will be staying in Nelson for her first job, much to her parents' joy.
She is selling the car and using the money towards a deposit on their first house. They are both very hard-working, sensible and level-headed.
I am bursting with pride and can't wait to give her a virtual hug!
for you too Greatnan
