A work day out

Today I drove a service user and their family to the Motorhome & Caravan show at the NEC in Birmingham. It was a lovely day out - and I enjoyed the driving. We also went to numerous places yesterday as well.

It's presented all sorts of unique challenges, and after my shift has finished I've felt quite exhausted. But I continue to realise I'm in the best job I've ever had, and it's truly rewarding to help others, and getting to interact with so many people.

So many are kind and understanding to people with learning disabilities. Some people are awkward when randomly approached; which is understandable - but patience, love and kindness will see us through all situations.
