This week with the sun out and temperatures rising the Lodge was out in force taking the garden very seriously! From harvesting celery and rhubarb, feeding chickens and fish, games, singing, coffee and tea. Everyone was out and it was lovely to see so many people joining the outdoor living gang.

Celebrations are such an important part of our life here and we do know how to do it in style (we hope….) This week as been all about easter – decorating easter trees, making easter baskets, table decorations, preparations for Easter Service and Mad Hatter Tea Party, Easter Service with Pauline, Mad Hatter Tea Party, Easter Eggs…………

Sweet creations in both communities – the chocolate balls look very yummy indeed………!

Afternoons always get somewhat quieter after lunch and this the perfect time for a chat, time with friends, scrabble, reading, crosswords, wool winding, quiz or just being sociable

and so instead of the music quiz we had some indoor target games. It was lovely to see Reg, Valerie and Joyce enjoying the games together with Dennis, Pam, Coral and Sue.Winners got chocolates!
