Walking up through the woods from the bus stop today, I passed a young man letting his dog sniff around while he checked his phone. There was a yell of exultation. Next thing I heard him obviously on the phone, 'Mum I've passed! That's me through to second year medicine!'. I couldn't help calling back to congratulate him. He was so incandescently happy and so was his mum by the sound of it. I really wasn't eavesdropping as it was a very loud phone call. After phoning his dad (also at the top of his voice! ) He ran to catch me up and thank me for my good wishes. What a nice, happy young man and obviously very relieved. Big celebrations in that family home tonight!
