Gosbecks School Visit

We always look forward to visits from Gosbecks Primary School. During their visit, they discussed their project on ‘Kings and Castles’ and recited some beautiful poems. They then helped us create delightful mini Easter baskets. The interaction between the pupils and everyone was lovely – we all enjoyed a fantastic afternoon. Many thanks to Jo and Cheryl for their efforts in organising this wonderful event!!!

St. Patrick’s Day

Residents enjoyed a lovely celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, coming together to sample a range of traditional and delicious Irish foods. The tasting began with soda bread and traditional Irish hams, followed by comforting favourites such as colcannon and hearty Irish stew. We also made homemade potato cakes (farls), combining flour with mashed potatoes, Irish butter, and plenty of seasoning. These were fried to perfection and enjoyed hot straight from the pan—absolutely delicious! To round off the celebration, everyone sampled a little traditional Irish stout and Baileys, adding to the festive spirit. A wonderful time was had by all—Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Get Ready For Easter

We had a wonderful Easter afternoon, welcoming members of our local community to join in the celebrations. Together, we enjoyed singing, crafts, Easter reminiscence chats, and some fun Easter quizzes, and finished the day with a delicious Easter tea. It is always lovely to see everyone enjoying each other’s company at these community events, which we try to host monthly. Moments like these remind us how important it is to build connections within our community, creating opportunities for new friendships.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!!!
