A colourful bunch don't you think!. As a thank you to Crayley who has looked after out books (and put up with me!) for the past year or so and to Lotto our placement student from Harper Adams University College we all got together in our garden for a picnic/send off last night.. Perfect weather, if in fact not just a little too hot, a very relaxed evening with hardly a word about work!
We'll miss both girls a great deal
Crayley had a mountain to climb when she got here (after a bit of a disastrous, all be it short lived predesesor) but managed to pull everything together always with a smile and a real enthusiasm for everything Scotch Egg, this despite anouncing on her first day that she didn't actually like Scotch Eggs... maybe not a full convert but most deffinately a Jumble Queeen. We must also thank Mike, her partner, as an all round professional tradesman he has built our shop and meeting room, repaired electical and plumbing problems and run all sorts of errands Thank you Crayley for creating a nice smooth transfer of the reins to Kieron who started on Monday, good luck to him..
As for Charlotte (aka Lotto) what can we say, our first placement student a great ambassador for the college, she has turned her hand to all manner of things here, from packing in the chiller in the depths of winter, to manning the phones (her own pet hate!), to taking over the whole order processing system when Aimee went off on maternity leave, to fronting the market stalls and a main support at events, festivals and shows - never complaining despite some rediculous hours (especially after attending college balls!) A succesful eventer away from work Lotto is driven to succed and will undoubtably fly in whatever she chooses to do... She'll continue to help for a while at events and shows through the summer returning to Uni in September.I'm writnig this the morning after and there is most deffinately a somewhat slow motion feel around the place... think I'll break out the cake, usually works!!
