I turned up for my shift at Attingham Park to find a former colleague was also on the same volunteering shift. It was lovely to see him and catch up on old times, that spanned for more than 30 years. We saw a lovely former colleague leaving Attingham, someone whose company I had enjoyed (we sat next to each other) for several years before she retired.
The glorious sunny weather that we have been experiencing over the bank holiday weekend has lingered on allowing me to explore a new walk around the Attingham Estate after I had finished my volunteering opportunity.
I walked through the deer park, past the Berwick memorial, picking up a walk in the woodlands before returning along the river path. I was too busy enjoying the walk to take any photos, apart from just one as I entered the deer park.
Should I mention that a small portion of cake slipped onto a plate just before I embarked on what turned out to be 4 mile walk?
How lovely to see former colleagues. The cake looks delicious and fortifying for your walk
It is definately that sort of a cake
And yes it was lovely to catch up with people I haven’t seen for many years.
So glad that you’re enjoying both volunteering positions, Cherie, I knew you’d be excellent at both
Thus, why shouldn’t there be cake, too? 
Volunteering at Attingham Park was something I always wanted to do after I took my early retirement but whenever I checked there were no volunteering vacancies of any sort at Attingham Park. Then Covid came and everything was shut down and later limited…
Earlier this year I noticed that volunteering opportunities were available and I jumped at the chance
The permanent staff and volunteers are lovely people. It is a joy to be part of the team.
