Proud Dad!

A time-out from politics and news about writing, for something much closer to my heart - my little Dude.

On Monday this week, Dude got his First Aid badge at Beavers (ring an ambulance, was his basic advice to me when I asked).

On Tuesday, he was moved up to being a Gold Reader, the only kid in his class to do so. It was difficult to say, when he was telling me, which of us was more chuffed!

Today, he passed his stage 2 swimming test.

I am a very proud Dad!
