Another catch up post. Has it really been a month?
My daughter has completed her gcse's and has now just started her Accountancy apprenticeship... It has been a busy, full on summer for her so far. I'm so proud of her & wish her all the best in her new career. She is working for an accountancy firm just outside the city and will go to college 1 or two days a week. She's so enjoying hands on training and her own desk. She's so grown up!... I felt so teary on her first day she'll always be my little girl. ๐ข Happy tears๐ it's all *change* in the air this month and I get unsettled... Things will soon be in a routine and feel like the norm I guess. We had a lovely family week just before she started her apprenticeship. We visited some lovely, local National Trust homes & gardens, we walked to a peacefully hidden cove and enjoyed the coast, city shopping, local walks up on Dartmoor and being in the garden. It had been so hot so I'm glad it's cooled a little. ๐๏ธ๐๐ค๏ธ๐ฅ๏ธ
