I am proud of my children, how they have grown into well balanced and civic minded individuals. I value them more than they will ever realise. They have got on with their lives and are now settled with their own family. They developed a really good relationship with their father and myself and we appreciate that. My return to education was interesting and good and I met equally minded people over the years spent there and I suppose I am proud of this achievement. It wasn't all roses and sunshine, it was in reality tough at times, but the parchment in the hand was really a great feel good factor and my family were thrilled with my success.
