GOOD FRIENDS AND GOODBYES

S
orry it's been so long since I last posted anything. Although I finished work last Thursday it has been non-stop since. Last week there was a whole bunch of leaving meals - Monday lunch was the formal one with the Church Leaders at the Oystercatcher (not good food!), Tuesday lunch was at the new over-designed seaside Cafe fondly known locally as "The Turd" (although Steak Sandwich was excellent), Wednesday evening was my highlight with all the staff that I work with at Wickbourne, Sure Start and the Church. We had a buffet at the local Indian Monsoon which was superb. At the end of the meal a number of staff made speeches and provided me with certificates for different achievements I had made (some serious and some humorous!). Sally & Wendy from the kitchen wrote a poem and Sonia had 3 pages that had me on the verge of tears! Around 25 of the team turned up and it was a great night - what a privilege to be part of such a great group of people. Thursday was my last day and Sure Start had laid on a surprise buffet and Sally had made a goodbye cake (with Fire Engine).
What an incredible week - it has been so good to work with so many amazing people, they will be missed...

Hi Sim,
Sounds like you've had enough to eat for the time being! Anyway, thought I'd leave a comment as you don't get many, do you? It's hard to leave isn't it? But God seems to work in seasons and moving from one to the next is normally very hard but very good as well.
See you Sunday,
Mark
