Julie’s Retirement Party

Wednesday. More changeable weather at the tail-end of Spring: a bit of sun, a bit of cloud, and a dash of rain here and there. It’s a special day at work: Julie, our friend and colleague for the last 17 years, is starting her retirement today. With her unique blend of big-heartedness and Australian humour, Julie has pretty much been everyone’s work mum for nearly two decades. She will be sorely missed by all of us whingeing Poms. We had a big presentation with gifts and sandwiches over lunch, and there were more than a few tears and big hugs throughout the afternoon. Everyone piled over to the Penny after work to join in with the farewell drinks. I grabbed this lovely picture of Angela, Julie and Kirsty at the pub, which was perfect for today’s Blip.
