I had my last day at the Gravesham Community Hospital in Gravesend, West Kent on Monday and drove 2 hours down the motorway to Nan and Grampa's in Mortimer after work ready to start my new job at the Wallingford Community Hospital (between Reading and Oxford) on Tuesday. The drive to Wallingford is beautiful, along the Thames river in Pangbourne and through rolling green fields. It is a cute little hospital with pretty grounds and lovely people so will be a nice place to work for a month or two, but very busy! I had a full on week catching up on home visits as the ward had not had an OT for a few weeks so I was able to see some of the countryside while I was at it! I visited patients homes in Abingden, Benson and Goring (all lovely little country villages).
On Sunday Nan and Grampa and I went to the Red Lion, a local pub for a roast which was very tasty!

| The Swan at Pangbourne - not a great picture but brings back memories of lunch we had with all the family on our last trip to the UK, boating down the Thames. |
