2nd November 2016
Yeh, today Debbie returns! Last year Debbie spent 12 days volunteering with me and loved it too so is returning again for the rest of our stay. Lucky girl is sharing her room with Tinkerbelle as well. Just checked her flight and she has landed. Unfortunately we are all working tonight so won't see her until we get back. Have left wine and beer in the fridge though so she will be fine 🍸🍸🍸🍾🍾
Right this mornings shifts were enjoyed by us all. Pauline and Lolly had their best shift yet as they were guiding the horses and children in Keaton's Korral. These horses, JoJo and Ginger are amazing so placid and gentle with the children, some of whom will have never had the opportunity to sit on a horse before. Even children in wheelchairs are lift on to the horse and have Miss Pam sitting. Behind them to keep them safe. I know both Pauline and Lolly were entranced with it all and loved talking to the children as they walked along side them and the horse.
I was moved from breakfast duty to the Castle of Miracles, was the busiest shift I have ever done in there. Fairy Stellar received a lot of stars today so she will be busy tonight putting them up in the Star Tower for the children and their families to come and visit tomorrow.
Had a couple of incidents, for some reason Fairy Stellar failed to collect a star so we had to call for assistance. Then Hermes the Pillow tree owl decided he needed a break too as he had been working so hard, Laurence came to rescue him and did such a great job that I took his picture which will be added at a later date. The last incident was an French .Canadian child came up to me quite distressed speaking in French that he couldn't find his parents. We called for help again but while we waited the great volunteer Rick sat down with him to do some colouring. His distraught .Mum came in looking for him and was so relieved to see him sitting calmly colourful.
We went off to the wonderful Walmart for a spot of shopping on finishing our morning shift and then had a spot of lunch before returning for tonight's Village Idol..... 23 acts in total, at least 5 versions of Let It .Go, some good and some not so good acts but fun was had by everyone . The evening finished later than normal and after we had taken the set down we got back to our villa to find a very tired .Debbie, we will catch up in the morning.
Good night xx
