Fiona's Newcastle University Graduation

It was 2 very proud parents who headed off to Newcastle at 7.00am on Friday morning to see Fiona getting her PHD at the Graduation in Newcastle University. We thought we would only see it on line as the students were only allowed 2 tickets but Fiona had been to the campus at 8.30am and managed to secure 5 tickets so everybody got to go. It was a very dignified and well presented Graduation with some excellent speeches. 
Hannah and Leo looked very smart and their Grandparents were quite presentable as well. 



Despite Fiona being full of the cold and having a chest infection she managed very well but by late afternoon she was shattered.
Without Mario she would never have been able to complete the 5 years it took her to completer her PHD. He was such a great support to her especially in looking after the kids when she had important deadlines to make and had to work long hours under extreme pressure.

Well done Dr. Menger. We went to two receptions in the University and then finished up at the Vermont Hotel for a posh Afternoon Tea.
Leo looked so smart all day
