This is probably the only picture of me which will ever appear on this blog.
For some reason I look like a rabbit caught in the headlights, although I was feeling quite relaxed.
For some reason I look like a rabbit caught in the headlights, although I was feeling quite relaxed. The ceremony swithered between being quite moving, and very boring. Moving when I caught sight of the procession of dignitaries coming up the nave, from the West Door of the Cathedral, and when we left the same way. (I've never seen those doors open, and probably will never see again, so it was great to walk through them.) Boring after we'd had our brief moment in the spotlight, and had to wait while hundreds of others had theirs. And it was cold !
We followed the ceremony with an enjoyable meal en masse (more or less) at Brasserie Blanc, and came home knackered. But Winchester Cathedral is definitely the place to have your degree ceremony - I can recommend it - if you wear your thermals.

we had Guildford Cathedral in July...just as it started to get hot. Poor DS hates his graduation photo...I must admit, he is looking a bit warm. He insisted on a wool 3 piece suit and tie under the robe.
Congratulations to you Celia and good to 'see' you, you do not look like a rabbit at all!
I'm laughing Celia, it was the same when I graduated. I felt more sorry for my family who came to support me.
Congratulations to you and well done.
