What a night... it all feels so real now!

Tonight, the two teams met for the first time at the D5060 farewell dinner at Guildford Golf Club.  It was a brilliant evening, eveyone made me (and my hubby Rich) feel so welcome, and it was great to meet the incoming team.  The picture below shows the two teams together - this apparently is an unusual event!

It was lovely to hear about all their adventures, and also find out about D5060 and what we should expect.  I can't wait to see the apple blossom, and the beautiful landscape.  Each of the D1250 team were presented with two pins by D5060 - I will wear mine with pride, both on and after our trip.  I also got some packing tips from Kevira.

Well, you may have heard that a volcano has erupted in Icelend, sending a large plume of ash over the UK... hopefully this will have dispersed before D5060 make their way home at the weekend.  I really wish them all well on their return flights (and additional travel to London - Jim, and around Europe - Brad). I can't wait to catch up with them at District Conference... they will probably see that we have used their presenation as a template!!!

Here is the last photo of the D1250 GSE team all together before we head off on our travels:
