The definition of “awesome” might well be to gather the teams from across the county and place before them the amazing insights and eloquence of both Pete (Starfish) Blaker AND Joanna Grace. It was a great and memorable day.

If you survey most family carers they’ll probably say the transition from children’s to adult services is a confusing minefield. So it was great to host a group of visitors from Yeovil College at our Hornblotton base today, giving the students a chance to explore future options in person. Thank you for coming guys, we all had a blast.

People of a certain age will remember the buzz you felt when the Clash or the Pogues were in town. That buzz isn’t there any more…except when these guys come around. The phenomenal Frozen Light have woven their magic once more, and barely a dry eye in the house. Thank you for another amazing experience, from all at Reflect.

Today was all about being present and being active: a busy, busy day out and about for Reflect. Bridgwater Fair for some and a sponsored walk (in aid of St Margaret’s Hospice) along the full length of Burnham on Sea esplanade for others. Lots of money raised, a mountain of sensory experiences had, and a very dear friend remembered. We’ll be sleeping well tonight.

Just for those of you whose family members attend our base at Hestercombe Gardens, you may have seen the breaking news that Hestercombe Gardens Trust has gone into administration. We’ll be producing a bulletin with more detail tomorrow but just wanted to reassure you that there is no immediate or medium term risk to Reflect and we’ll be working closely with Hestercombe over the coming months.

It's been a year of too many goodbyes at Reflect and last Thursday we were crushed to have Paul leave us for a final time. Paul was an amazing man. He'd travel in his wheelchair face forward, eyes on the road ahead, as focused on his journey as a formula one driver in his cockpit, apparently every bit the serious man. But then of course, when he got where he was going, the true him took over and in a second he filled the room with smiles and laughter. His humour was joyous, instant and b***y - nothing funnier than a farting gnome, or one of the team being told off for burping. He was cheeky too and rumour has it when he was offered a choice of drink at a performance by our friends at Frozen Light he surprised everyone by demanding Rum. He was loved to the stars and back - both here at Reflect and at home - and he repaid that love with a smile and a laugh for every star in the sky. The world is a smaller, quieter, sadder place without you Paul. Go in peace and with our love.

Ever had one of those days when someone pops in for a job interview, empties a car load of fantastic instruments and completely takes over? A lovely morning.

The awesome Debs, who delivers our Friday music sessions in Taunton, is up for an award!! We’re not always fans of awards per se, but in her case she has an incredible talent for engaging with and involving the people we support, drawing them in and holding their attention, then supporting them to each participate in their own unique ways. Debs recognises and truly values each individual contribution, however it manifests itself. It’s not something you learn, you have to be born with it, and she has it in bucketfuls. Do take a moment to find Debbie Birkett in the Most Loved Activity Leader Wales, West and South West and give her a vote on behalf of our guys (closes Wednesday 16 July).

You cannot vote again so please make sure that you have voting in all the categories you want to. You have entered votes for categories
