Chanel's Graduation

We had an early start on Wednesday because we needed to be in Dundee by 9 a.m. for a very special occasion - Chanel’s Graduation. We met up with Chanel’s family in the square outside Caird Hall, which brought back happy memories of Jamie’s graduations. The queue was long but it moved smartly and soon we were watching the dignitaries come in to the Hall as we sang Gaudeamus Igitur. It was a lovely ceremony and a very happy occasion. Chanel was wearing a beautiful red dress under her gown and looked stunning. After the ceremony we took lots of photos outside in the sunshine and then had drinks in the V&A café before lunch. Unfortunately James wasn’t feeling 100%, he had woken with a headache, but he had a little nap in the car and felt better in time for lunch. Lunch was at the Malmaison and it was absolutely excellent. It was very nice to chat to Chanel’s mum and her cute wee brother Lincoln, and also to get to know Chanel’s Dad a bit better and to meet his girlfriend Floriana. We chatted until it was time for the graduation garden party, at which point James and I said our goodbyes and set off back to Glasgow, happy but rather exhausted.
