    Morning Beanie :) Just popping on to say I hope you enjoy the ceremony today. Maybe the excitement of it all will give you a boost to go to the pub afterwards. Mind you, I'd not be overly bothered about that part myself if I'm being honest. Whatever you do have a wonderful time. x
    Thanks.
    Did not go to the pub.
    Awards ceremony went well.
    Lord Lieutenant was lovely.
    So so many photographs. 
    Quite emotional.

    Glad you enjoyed the ceremony @beanielou. Echoing what @milann has said about being appreciated. I know volunteers don't do it for the recognition but it's always nice when hard work and dedication is acknowledged. x
