Hi everyone,
I hope you are ok.
I hope you don't mind, but I would like to leave you all a little message.
I wanted to say goodbye to you all! :( I am very sorry to say that I'm off! I'm heading over to Rainham Marshes (click here to see Rainham's blog) as their new Education Officer!
Rye Meads is the most wonderful place, with the most wonderful staff, volunteers and visitors that I have ever had the pleasure to meet! I have had an amazing time at Rye Meads!
I started working at Rye Meads nine years ago, and have enjoyed every moment!

This is me when I started volunteering as part of my degree back in 2003!
I had had such a wonderful time at the reserve over the years - I've learnt so much, had the most brilliant time, and made a lot of friends.
I will never forget my time at Rye Meads, and it certainly won't be the last time I visit - I only live up the road (and I'll still be running the childrens WEx Club once a month!)
I want to say a big thank you to everyone! To all the staff, volunteers, and to all of you! Thank you all for reading this blog over the last couple of years, thank you for visiting Rye Meads.
Bye for now! Come see me at Rainham, and I'll be back to Rye Meads soon!
Take care xxxx
Thank you both! It's very kind! Do say hello if you come past!
I'm very sad to leave, but it's an exciting opportunity and I won't be too far away (I've been emailing, texting and blogging on their blog pages)! :)
You are all in the lovely hands of the rest of the Rye Meads team!
See you all soon! x
