It’s not every day a man offers you the services of a six foot, white Pegasus.

Then again it’s not every day you get to hear if someone passed their interview at the London College of Fashion. Tonight we were at K’s Aunt’s to meet with family from Australia and with her Uncle Richard who lives closer by and is the proud owner of Pegasus.

For K it’s a trip back fourteen years to meet the Uncle who used to wait up for her to come back from her job at the pub to sit up with her with a cup of tea and a cigarette. All these years later there’s one less smoker but it’s clear from the smiles and laughter that the years haven’t broken that bond.

For Sophie today was the end of long journey from personal statement to application, via the creation of a portfolio and one stressful interview. Now it’s down to the London College of Fashion and their selection process. Her mind’s now on a week in New York and around the kitchen table we all swap favourite restaurants and the best time to see New York from the Empire State Building and just how long it will take to get through Terminal Five.

Of course the easiest way to get there is by Pegasus…
