Stop for a moment...

Graduation, a photo by Helen in Wales on Flickr.

...to stand back from the milling throng at the graduation ceremony.

Yes, it's that time of year again, the annual pilgrimage to Caerleon for the graduation of my husband's students on the BA Education degree course. This year two students from the local college completed their degrees, so we went to support and congratulate them.

After we'd done the necessary mingling, we drove on to Merthyr Tydfil where we stayed overnight before travelling home today.

PS None of the people in the photo are our students. It was just a random selection out the milling throng who were taking photos and chatting after the ceremony had finished.
