We both met at university where we were studying the same course, Veterinary Medicine. I quickly realised that being a vet wasn't for me, and, after getting my first degree, decided to train as a science teacher. Caz, however, was a good vet and stuck it out. She qualified on Thursday after 6 long years. I couldn't have been more proud.
To celebrate Caz held a meal in the Wordsworth Room at our college for her family.
Caz picked out the most fabulous menu accompanied by some incredible wines: a Reisling and Pinot Noir.
For starter we had a pistachio and dukkah encrusted duck breast, cooked rare with an orange salad. This was followed by roast pork belly and seasonal vegetable. For pudding, we ate a syrup spnge pudding with praline ice cream. So incredibly delicious.

Caz's actual veterinary school graduation was the following day. Martin and I used our free morning to wander around Cambridge.

| Corpus Christi clock |

| Mathematical bridge, Queens |

| King's chapel |

| Martin's former college, Trinity |
The Eagle is Cambridge's most famous pub. This is because Watson and Crick (discoverers of DNA) first ran in here on finding out about their ground breaking discovery.
I greedily chose a huge Ploughman's complete with cooked ham, Tawny Valley cheddar and stilton.
Before the ceremony, there was just enough time to visit Caz's horse, Sway.
Gorgeous Caz in her gown.
I was so happy when we bumped into our Director of Studies at St John's, Dr Williams.
It was such a lovely couple of days; a culmination of all of Caz's exceptionally hard work.
