Monday
Our final day and its sunny!
Arrived early to check I was happy with my route: I am.
Usual check in with the team and then handing out of pinks bands. A lovely group, including Emma, set sail for our adventure
Stop at the river, dive into the chocolate buttons, and hold our gaze under the wobbly bridge.
We pause to remember Pamela and I share her story: Pamela had sent me  a text this morning with thanks for the care that was shown her.  We pass by Brian's spot and off to King St
Maureen and Burt in the sorting room of the Cancer Research shop were beautiful framed, either side of the sorting desk, and they share the lovely story of how they met. Brian too shy to speak to Maureen kept brining donations into the shop, and had to stop before he emptied his home.
Off down Angel Walk, taking in Lees garden, and across the back of the church, and the gravestones. Hammersmith Station and the Help Centre lead us to our  meeting with Uweme. Such a gentle sole with a story of his gang life, with drugs and crime, to his new life now, as assistant pastor at the centre.
We took in the Apollo story and met with Mark the handyman as we strolled back to Riverside.
Polishing off the chocolate buttons, the group agreed, it had been a very special journey indeed!

What  a lovely end to an extraordinary week, as we drank and ate and applauded our endeavours at The Blue Anchor. And that was the week that was, and that was the week that was!
