@SaraCrewe06congrats to your DD. How are you celebrating?

@Ventressglad to hear you are doing a bit better and hope you get to go on your trip to Bath.

Lovely to hear about all the holidays. DS is also in Malta @Tebheagalthough I suspect at much more basic hotel with a large group of friends. From the little I’ve heard from him he seems to be having a great time. Malta looks lovely and I’m quite jealous.

He also managed to sneak in his last piano exam the day before he went away as he wanted to do it before hopefully going away in September. His teacher has just messaged to say he passed. He’ll be very happy as didn’t feel very well prepared as was naturally concentrating more on A Levels.

Thanks all.
She’s taking a gap year to travel then going to Leeds to do Nutrition.

Well done to @SaraCrewe06 ’s DD.

Although school has officially finished, my DC is one of the ones still going back for various concerts and performances so it doesn’t feel like it is quite over yet! And I can’t quite believe school is officially done for them either…

@Ventress , she just loves theatre! She's also props master for a show in our local theatre next week, then stage crew for a show 2 weeks later! Our family holiday is delayed for this!
I hope you enjoy your visit to Bath. It's a beautiful place.

@SaraCrewe06 congratulations to your daughter!

DD was rather pleased yesterday to discover she had a distinction in grade 6 musical theatre singing. It's the first singing exam she has done too!

@hels71
Congrats to your DD, that’s brilliant!
I would get anxious when DD told me that she got a D in her Sport subject…thinking it was an A level “D” and not a Distinction. And don’t even go there with the IB grading 🤯

@hels71 I see your DD is going to Rose Bruford. Congrats to her! My best friend’s son is there (actor muso) and is having the time of his life.

My DS spends most of his time in theatres. He’s currently in two separate shows so that’s a lot of rehearsals. When he’s not acting he’s singing, working, or down the pub!

Hope everyone is doing ok and thank you again for letting me join you all. ☺️

Congratulations to your DD @hels71 , I sing like a cat that's been stood on so I'm mightily impressed with people who can sing! 😁

Ventress · Today 12:02

Me too @JustHereWithMyPopcorn!

DS is off too Istanbul tomorrow for 5 days. I’m very proud of him going alone - his friends just didn’t get organised so DS has decided to it as it’s the last full week he has without out pay or volunteering, he needs to do it!

Ventress · Today 12:04

Well done @hels71- that’s amazing news for your dd 😃

Good on your DS Ventress. Hope he has a fantastic time. We are now on our family holiday in Dubrovnik. It’s so lovely to be able to relax way from thoughts of exams or results.

Well done @SaraCrewe06 ’s DD on the IB results.

Ventress · Today 14:52

Have a wonderful time @ArchitectureMum. I’ve never been but it looks gorgeous!

SaraCrewe06 · Today 16:40

Thank you @ArchitectureMum
