Hope this Spring edition finds you all well and looking forward to the onset of better weather. We have enjoyed and celebrated some special days already this year, Valentine’s, St. David’s Day, Pancakes on Shove Tuesday, Dame Vera Lynn’s 100th Birthday and Comic Relief to name but a few.
You will see from the pictures below our tribute to Vera Lynn. We were very lucky to have an entertainer “Brian Shaw” who actually sang to Vera during her birthday celebrations.
We also watched a Spring Production by Full Beams entertainers. This involved a mixture of songs, dancing including ballet, tap dance and some acrobatics. Which drew gasps from the audience.
We are looking forward to starting some gardening projects and enjoying the sunshine outside.
