Our stories

We celebrated National Cheese Fondue Day with a home made beer and cheddar fondue. Everyone enjoyed making and enjoying this 70's classic. It is wonderful how simply sharing good food brings people together, encouraging camaraderie and laughter.

Our 'Trip To Chocolate Land' Party was enjoyed by all, they especially enjoyed all of the sweet treats we had on offer, from our chocolate fountain enjoyed with fresh fruit to our chocolate cakes. We watched clips of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and listened to some of the classic tunes.

We have been making the most of the lovely Easter sunshine and enjoyed our gardening. We have had lots of fresh air and smiles all round.
