....he did!

The day was all about 'wellbeing and diversity' and we had a stand promoting our allotments, which are the nearest ones to the university.

He attracted a lot of interest and comments, including "Is it real?"  "Do you own a business making them?"  and "What is it, it's scaring me".

The uni chaplain lent him his clerical collar.

There was a lot of interest in allotments from students and staff and I really enjoyed the day.

I love the photos :-)

So, how did you get on "carrying him to the hall"?  Did you get many strange looks?!  did you wheel him there in a barrow?!

Yes, I'm very proud that my boy has been to uni, I knew he had it in him. ;)

They didn't give him a certificate today, maybe that will happen on graduation day?

My husband dropped me off on the main road outside the uni and I had to carry him (the scarecrow, not my husband) a short distance to the building.  We did get some strange looks but nobody laughed, they are very polite in Birmingham!!!  ;)

Yes, he had his seatbelt on!
