Today marks the end of another working year, as May 31st is the financial year end for John Darvell Packaging Ltd, which was formed by my dad back in 1976. I’m a bit of a Goodbye Mr Chips figure as I joined the business straight from school and have remained ever since. The family business
With over £1200 now raised for The Bowelbabe Fund by the Bowelbabe Teddy Bears it’s amazing where the teddies are heading to.

I’ve yet to meet sisters, Rebecca Slight and Ceirwyn Sutherland, but they have both been tremendous supporters of my fundraising over the last few years. Rebecca, who is currently in the UK from New Zealand visiting Ceirwyn in London and going to more gigs than I have had hot dinners, sent me this brilliant photo
More wonderful Bowelbabe Teddy photos arrived today, and it’s no coincidence that when people post and send me their photos, it can lead to more charity sales coming in.

This photo arrived in my inbox this morning from Monique (Life of Mique) Buckingham’s mum, Anne. The timing was perfect. I’d actually just got all my fundraising donations up to date, so I had been able to add a small amount to Monqie’s Go Fund Me page, as well as adding funds to the Bowelbabe
I feel such a close connection with this Instagram post from @wearefeelgoodclub, which was brought to my attention by the wonderful Natalie Woodward.
