August 30th

Yesterday was a very special day! I called into the office in Cork to see everyone there as I hadn't been in since January - and the welcome I received just completely blew me away!! Blew both of us away actually (as everyone insisted that Dave came into work aswell)! They had organised the most impresive Tea Party I have ever seen! Fine bone china, scones, cakes, cucumber sandwiches, flowers.....and most importantly a very special afternoon with my friends :)

I was so overwhelmed I just burst into tears when I saw it and the whole afternoon touched both of us so much! What an incredible bunch of people at RCI!! My boss came over from Kettering especially and had also planned a video conference with the team in Kettering, although it didn't work out....probably just as well as I was so overcome already!! It was so good to spend time with everyone and catch up (although there's never enough time to see everyone properly).

Thank you all SO much! Especially Thank You to Mafer and Nellie for the incredible effort you put into organising this. Thank You to Paul and Ciara for arranging the afternoon and for all your continued support to Dave and myself. And Thank You to everyone who came along. We can't tell you how much yesterday meant to both of us :)
