Today at work I had a surprise visitor, Helen one of the many RHS Volunteers, who I have come to call my friend through her very frequent attendance on the many walks I have led at RHS Wisley Gardens over the last 13 years together with my colleague David. Word has got out that both David and I will shortly be saying farewell to our current jobs and moving on to pastures new. Helen dropped in for a chat with us both and handed me an envelope which contained this card.
Inside were these words:
MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE
LOVE TO SHARE
HEALTH TO SPARE
AND FRIENDS THAT CARE
With love from Helen and Kay.
While I know both David and I will miss the enjoyment and friendship we have both gained while showing visitors the local avian wildlife I am hopeful that I will meet up with Helen and Kay in the not too distant future and enjoy a stroll together in the gardens we all love so much. FAB.
A lovely card for sure..leaving a job is definitely a time for so many mixed emotions and can even be a little scary but it's nice you have such a nice hobby to keep you busy while you find a new pasture...might you be retiring? If so congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, thoughtful card.
ReplyDeleteHi Frank,
ReplyDeleteThis is a very nice gift. I guess you were more than happy. friendship is unique and when it is turning around common passion such as walking and birding, it is very precious.
How sweet of them. The card is terrific.
ReplyDeleteJust shows what a great bloke you are Frank.
ReplyDeleteThats a lovely gift and thought Frank.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful gift they gave you, showing how much you mean to them. I know you're counting down the days, and I'm sure you're a jumble of mixed emotions right now. We are all wishing you the best!
