Graduation James


Here are the Ellison family after James' graduation from the University of Derby with a BA Hons. Brilliant. Lovely hat and colours there. Now onto the Masters! We had to get up so early to get to the ceremony in time to pick up the robes and to have the pictures taken. The professional photographer placed me 'on the end' of the family picture so I could be 'cut out if things go wrong'. Thanks, love....... The actual ceremony wasn't too boring but once James had been on the stage to shake hands with the Chancellor, the best bit was over. We popped to Denby for some crockery shopping and then went back to Derby for a lovely lunch at Le Bistro Pierre. Wonderful French food - I had grilled goats' cheese with beetroot and raspberry followed by pave de steak with pomme frites. Steak and chips to you and me. It was yummy but very filling so none of us could managed pudding! A very lovely day all round. Congratulations, James!
