So Josh has reached the first of the birthdays which flies him from childhood to adulthood and can now ride a motorbike (he has done for years on the farm - see earlier blogs), leave school (he may have been there in body on a regular basis, but was he ever there in mind?), can get a full-time job (already lined up to start the minute he finishes his exams) and can even get married (no plans here yet thank goodness).
Ride the rainbow
I gave him a hawking glove and two giant bars of Galaxy chocolate.
