The presentation award event was understandably long and drawn out, but it was good to be part of the day and Emily joined her fellow awardees from Trinity Academy in Thorne. Of course, Emily probably had least distance to travel of all of her friends as she is studying in Hatfield! Despite the drizzle it was a great day and good to be in the same room as the Duke of Edinburgh who seemed to have made a good recovery from previous ill health.

Yet another Gold Award
Gymnastics has seen a good number of gold awards for both kids, but today marked a very significant achievement - the presentation of Emily's Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award at St James Palace in London. Alas, only one parent was allowed to attend and since Helena is not fond of London or the Underground Arthur had done the trip south.
