The Attridges

Alexander Attridge Kiss the guns. Well done you!

Benjamin Today you did a good thing, sharing your talent with others at the senior citizens Xmas lunch at your school.  The most I could have mustered at your age would have been some polite conversation - I know you excelled in that and then some.  That you then played solo; I am sure beautifully would have made all of the people there very very happy. You are brilliant. Mum and Dad

Everyday is a surprise with you all - we never know what little gem or piece of news will brighten our day.  This one, from you Daniel stopped me in my tracks - mum standing there with immense pride as you read this out to us in the kitchen. Add caption

The awesome'ness' that are you all continues. Some highlights that mum and I feel absolutely blessed by Turkey holiday - how cool was that?? Dancing in the club to Ne-Yo Give me Everything Singing to PitBull's club can't handle me Dancing with mummy on the side lines - positive support as always (and a pretty good mover too!!) Water park - my legs hurt going up and down those stairs for the water slides. I had the best time ever! Sophie Loaf Manchester Uni.  You go girl :) I'm taking credit for that one - and the hours spent on your STEM subjects to get you through SNS.... You can thank me with a big kiss. This week has been particularly good, driving back from your first Poynter dinner this evening Ben I was smiling the whole way home.  I'm in awe of how you continue to step up and get on with it.  You should look back on this time safe in the knowledge that every day mum and I are so very very proud of you. Zander - you crack me up.  Searchin...

Boys.... The sound of you all laughing when you are watching some of your TV shows is just the best.  Just because mum and I maybe in another room, hearing that noise brings absolute joy and a smile to our faces. Love it Love you Mum & Dad

The brilliance that is..... Benjamin School entry exams are seemingly more stressful for the parents who are not even taking the exams. Mum and I are again so proud of you getting a place - Im not sure words can explain. Go you Ben!
