Whoo-Hoo! Number one Son - Part the Third

[jacey]

Just had a phone call from N1S. He's on his way to the airport soon to catch his 4.00 flight back to New York. No dramas this time, just some incredibly good news.

He was over here for a few days from New York to attend for an interview for the Rome Scholarship and... he got it! He applied for both the Architecture one and the Landscape Architecture one... actually using the same project for both applications and he just heard he's been awarded the Landscape Architecture one.

Whoo-hoo!

For nine months form October to June he'll be living at the British School in Rome with his room and board all paid for and a monthly grant on top while he does a study on walls within and without - including making a film and writing a paper.

I am, of course, planning to visit!

Congratulations! You must be pleased -- especially about the "all paid for and a monthly grant" part. :)

Oh yes. Very pleased. The achievement is brilliant. The monthly grant also warms the cockles of my cockles.

He always said he wanted to live in Rome and that he'd give us the guided tour one day. He fell in love with the place right back in his Cambridge days. It was the first place they had to go and study in year one of the architecture course. Seems like years ago!
