Seeing the hood's broad band of red across the front of Tom's academic robes has me wondering - what is the colour of his degree's academic hood?
Did you know that the graduate robe of St Andrew's university up in Scotland is bright red?
All of the teachers at my secondary school here in NZ graduated from universities who had a black academic robe. However, those with qualifications from outside NZ wore wonderfully coloured academic hoods. We only got to see all this glory on our teachers at the annual end of year prize ceremony.
I wish young Tom all the very best! Oh to be starting on that journey again. (Or would I? No, I'm quite happy with now!) Handsome lad, must be in the genes! :¬)
Kim: not to worry. With someone like you I take it as read. I don't know how you manage to do all you do - AND persistently beat me at Scrabble!! But I'm getting better.
After days and days of not reading blogs, I come here to find wonderful news. Please tell Tom I wish him all the best, and I hope his success influences many more young people to do well too x x
Grand mother but still a girl at heart. Married to MTL(my true love)after a separation of 30 years. Had three careers: trained paediatric nurse, National photographic model and business woman. Now settled in SW and enjoying our five children and ten grandchildren and making the most of what time we have left.
In January 2013 I lost MTL.

Mickle : as far as I can ascertain from his father it is just plain black.
