Off out

Younger son's graduation day. He chose not to attend the official ceremony in Bristol but went to work as usual and in the evening we had a celebration meal at a local restaurant.

Here he is (centre) with (L to R) brother, aged uncle, girlfriend, father.

He's now a MA in English Literature and has an apprenticeship in arts management in Pembrokeshire, but the real feather in his cap is that he's just been headhunted as a stringer for The Guardian, reporting on the music scene in the southwest UK. His brief is a modest one but it could be the bottom rung of a ladder.
