The final farewell was in the form of a surprise party. April invited former Manager Carol de Boeck to join in the festivities. But the real surprise was seeing my wife Jenny! It was great to have her meet my work colleagues and reminisce on the events of the last 12 months.

Jen and I also shared our plans for a big 2 month road trip through North America following the work exchange. I’ll certainly miss working with a great bunch of people. And a big thank you to Cloverdale manager April Cox for helping making my stay at Cloverdale such an enjoyable one!
