The Easter Weekend always sees plenty of activity at Orchard House, and this year will be no exception. Which means that in the weeks leading up to all things chocolate, bunnies and eggs there is plenty to be done.

Our lovely residents have been having great fun making Easter bonnets and painting Easter bunnies. It will be quite a show come Easter Sunday.

What are you making for Easter this year?

We have been working really hard throughout the Winter to get our new luxury Retirement Apartments ready for viewing. Now that the sun has come out and Spring is in the air, we are almost there. Work has been proceeding apace and here is a first glimpse of the nearly ready apartments. Designed to give people independence, comfort, and the ability to order in care as and when needed – we think the apartments give people the opportunity to lead a fulfilling and comfortable life in their later years.

.Our conservatory at Orchard House was packed last Friday as we were treated to a musical afternoon. Our lovely residents enjoyed sitting in the sun filled room and hearing some of yesteryear’s classic tunes. Musical events are always welcomed at Orchard House and residents thoroughly enjoyed themselves, including some of our married couples!We’re all looking forward to the next concert…get your tickets now – they may sell out!

Last week at St. Peter’s some of our lovely residents enjoying planting flowers for National Flower Day on Saturday 12th March. They sowed a range of seeds for blooms to brighten up the home and gardens a little alter in the year. As you can see we had some green fingers on the job, and we’ve got to say the gardening gloves look very natty! Here’s looking forward to the lovely blooms to come!
