Our daughters, their strengths and one proud parent

Lancashire Evening Post

|

July 10, 2025

Remember when you were at school and teachers told you to work on your weaknesses (maths usually)? Yeah, like most things we were taught there, that’s fundamentally useless in the real world too.

Always, always work on your strengths, because everyone's really good at something. And it’s been proved right by our two grown-and-flown daughters this week.

Daughter #2 has only got a few weeks to go on her second tour of duty, entertaining kids on literally the world’s biggest cruise ship, and last week she did something that to a cynical introvert like yours truly is the stuff of actual nightmares, but to our youngest is just another day at work.
