Wishing a most ecstatically happy birthday to the second of our teenage grandchildren to stop being that.
It won’t be long before the two pre-teens stop being pre-, too. In the meantime the latter do help make us feel less ancient.
Here he is with (not-too-much) older sister at a family dinner at the charmingly ‘period’ listed building housing Prezzo Restaurant in Romsey, not long before our return home this last December.
We are proud of you for continuing to do the write thing in University. Carry on!

I trust you bought him a razor for his birthday, at 20 he must surely be allowed to shave now; and elbow on the table?
I suppose I;m old fashioned 😦

My young son, at 35, is still a work in progress; if that’s anything to go by, your grandsons parents have a lot to look forward to; and I wish them well. 🙂
Still he looks a promising sort of lad! 🙂

Yes, he is inclined to take life seriously. My flippancy doesn’t always go down too well with him.

Many of the young have not yet learned to balance the importance of all approaches to life.
