Good morning Mama. Cameron received her A level results and is going to the 1st ranked Chemical Engineering University in Scotland and 4th/5th in the UK. The University of Strathclyde. ❤️. John Logie Baird went to the same University 😀. She is super happy now.

We head up to Glasgow on the 8th of September as she embarks on her next 4 years of University education. ( Freshers week first 🙄).

The picture attached, was as she was opening her A level results letter. I know you would be dancing, celebrating , cuddling and giving her lots of love today. I’ll try my best to do so too.

Both James and Cameron miss you and those super mummy hugs. You created that happiness in their hearts. They miss you so much Pilar as you miss them. They are ploughing on with life with a huge gap and I’m watching them develop into super people. Foundations created by you.

We love and miss you lots. Today and always xx

Hello Mama. Our beautiful daughter was 18 on Saturday. Well you knew that, our wee Robin was watching over in the garden on Saturday and Sunday. Cameron had her first drink and like you wasn’t that keen on alcohol. 😀. She danced at home for ages though haha - you loved to dance. James was back from Swansea University mid 2nd year Economics exam season. They are both amazing adults. Study hard and are beautiful human beings like you! Cameron has her first A level exam on Thursday 23rd May and all going well will head to Edinburgh University in September to study Chemical Engineering. ( all universities accepted her). Smirt, Isabel and Lewis were there too. We miss you Mama. Love you lots. 💙 .
