Hi, you are “face to face with Shell”.
FIRST OF ALL, I WILL CONTINUE TO ADD TO THIS PAGE; I TOOK A LOT OF NOTES AND GAINED GREAT INFORMATION FROM THE DAN’S FUND FOR BURNS WEEKEND, AND AFTER RETURNING FROM SPAIN, I AM GETTING THROUGH THEM ALL. WATCH THIS SPACE…
I attended a weekend event run by Dan’s Fund For Burns (Friday 20 September 2019 – Sunday 22 September 2019).
Please watch the video below and read on:
It was held in Oxford, a city that Chris, my husband, and myself had never been to and it gave us a chance to catch-up with some amazing friends after the weekend, which was awesome.
I found out about this weekend through the Adult Burn Support UK, who were also represented at the weekend.

I had never been to anything like this before and we were both really looking forward to it. It gave Chris and I the chance to meet other burn survivors and their family/friends. We shared our stories, learned new information, and met amazing people and made lifelong friends.
The first day/night of the weekend; please watch the video below and read on:
What a great way to start the weekend. The hotel was beautiful and everyone was so welcoming and friendly. We had a great evening of lovely food and company. Meeting other burn survivors and hearing what they had gone through was a true inspiration. We talked about our experiences but most of all we LAUGHED…A LOT.
If you are ever thinking of going to one of these events, I would highly recommend it…and that is how I felt just after the first night!
We had a totally awesome time at the Dan’s Fund For Burns weekend; we had talks from professionals and talks from other burn survivors, a walking tour through Oxford, and an excellent dinner dance on Saturday night where everybody let loose. Again, I would highly recommend going to something like this. We truly gained so much from attending.
Some of the “superheros” that I met at the Dan’s Fund For Burns Weekend (2019).
Please watch the video below; it was taken in our friends’ garden, who we stayed with after the weekend:
Polly; the Founder of Dan’s Fund For Burns and I (2019).
Please watch the video below; where you will see a little of Oxford and the talk that I gave at the Dan’s Fund For Burns weekend:
Below is a couple of photos of beautiful Oxford, taken after the Dan’s Fund For Burns Weekend (2019):
Please watch the videos below, where I conclude the amazing time that we had and thereafter; there is a video where I take you back to the apartments in Lloret once more:
As I mentioned, after the amazing time that we had in Oxford, we took a break in the sun to Spain; we went to Lloret de Mar, where my “accident” happened. We have made lots of friends there and I feel that it has turned into a sort of pilgrimage for me each year.
