Prayers For My Firstborn

The apple of my eye, firstborn and daughter Andrea, is in Glasgow tonight.

She has just been through the ringer, auditioning for a place at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, one of the top such schools in the world, from what I am told.

From an initial group of around 25, she has made it through two cuts and is now a finalist, along with four others.

Glasgow wasn't really Andrea's first choice, but now that she has seen the city and the academy, she is really excited by it all.

I bid your prayers that she makes the final cut and is one of the two or three who will be selected.

Thank you.
