I have single-handedly (with the help of ds age 3!) been running a baby/toddler group once a week for the past year. I'm giving it up now because of work commitments etc, so today for our last meeting we met in local park for a picnic breakfast (before it got too hot).
Anyway loads came and they got me a huge bouquet of flowers, a bottle of Champagne (real stuff!!) and a card everyone signed. All the kids gave me unprompted kisses and of course I bawled (bloomin' hormones!)
They were all saying it was the loveliest, friendliest group in the area and they would all miss me! I was SOOOO touched and pretty bowled over by their comments. Made the hard(ish) work all worthwhile
