Cancer Research!

It was another day of volunteering for Darrell and I at Cancer Research in Portsmouth today. It has been great introducing Darrell to my work colleagues, every Monday morning; they enjoy spending time with him, even if he is only here for a short while. With Darrell returning to Australia on 3 October, it has been essential for me acquaint him with my life in the UK, so he feels comfortable and at ease before he goes to care for his Mum. I am happy with the life I have built here as I know he is; it makes him leaving easier to deal with.

Darrell gets on fantastically well with everyone at this charity and it has been good to see him relaxed and content before he returns home. Today, he was awarded the 'Best Small Bum' award by the ladies at work; a further nod of approval from such a fun loving group of people, all striving for the same goals, working tirelessly for Cancer Research!

We are having a day off next Monday, as we recover from my Aunties Birthday on Sunday and prepare for Darrell's departure the following week. I know he has made some wonderful friends at the shop and they will all keep in touch with him while he navigates a new chapter, caring for his Mother, battling cancer in Australia!
