A Truly Happy Ending

East of the Sun and West of the Moon
Kay Nielsen
(1914)

MissM, connoisseur of fairy stories,
has received her starry exam results
and will be reading English at university
and the Charming MasterN
has received equally starry results
and will be reading Geography at university.

All the hard work is forgotten
and tonight we will be celebrating.

Well
done.

Lynn said...

Congratulations!

But won't there be a Gap Year in which MissM journeys to rural Missouri to impart knowledge of Hinduism, fairy stories and fashion to a family hungry for what she has to offer??

I loved that Kay Neilson book, all those impossibly slender nordic maidens.

Sounds to me like a wonderful beginning - the product of hard work.

Excellent news. I'm surrounded by neighbours where there has been dreadful wailing and gnashing of teeth, followed by frantic and fruitless calls to universities, so it's encouraging to hear of some youngsters who did well! Enjoy your celebrations.

BTW, I followed the link to the post about fairy stories, and have now got another excuse (as if one was needed) to spend hours reading lovely blogs....

The Coffee Lady said...

Oh, congratulations. Many of them.

(By the way, did she see my new fairy stories link the other day? She might find it interesting).

RW said...

congratulations all around.
yippee.

Well done MissM and MasterN - we too have been celebrating - Sarah got her results too and will got to Hertfordshire Uni to train to be a Physiotherapist - the receipt of a letter from them this morning informing her she'd been allocated her first choice of accommodation was met with a see-saw of emotions from total delight to absolute dread thinking she's got in and now it's a reality - happy days (where are the tissues for Mum?)

MissM said...

Thank you very much for all the very kind comments you've all left! The Charming MasterN and I are very happy it's all over now and can relax as much as we want (for a while at least!)
MissM xx

Mary said...

So so happy for you all - congratulations to Miss and Master...

Now Mrs you can quietly email me her A level results - just as you did for me with masterM!

Rhiannon said...

Congratulations to both of you and I hope that the celebrations went on well into the night :)
