UK passport wasn't so bad.

Hi,...never been posting for a while,... been really busy at work,... but thought I would let you know my wife's passport came through the door this morning !
I was really surprised how easy and straight forward it was. After she got awarded her UK citizenship in October (which again was easy and straight forward),... we applied for the passport. It wasn't long before we had all the documents back with a letter inviting her to book an interview. We travelled up to Edinburgh last Friday,...she said it was a really friendly, relaxed interview,...and this morning the postie knocked on the door with the passport.
Best part for me was watching my wife dance and hoot round the house when she got it (bless her)
Passports mean little to us UK citizens,...but to a Filipino it seems like the golden egg !
I hope that anyone who is getting a little stressed over going through this proccess can take comfort that it is all so straight forward in most cases.
Merry Christmas to you all on here,....

easiest to explain this is ...
its a the same principle of being in here freezing and you in exchange to our hot and tropical sunny country
