Many moons ago our favourite Welsh lass Louisa started a friendship group for the retired in the village.
Each month they’d meet for lunch, tea and cake and have a variety of guest speakers, performers and sometimes do some arts and crafts.
A group enjoyed by lots of villagers over the years and would welcome anyone who was perhaps feeling a bit lonely, to pull up a chair and forget their worries for an hour or two with friends old and new.
Louisa really had a heart of gold and put her all into establishing this special group which brought lots of new friendships and a real sense of community to the village. We’re very grateful for all Louisa did to create this initiative and she’ll always be remembered here in Hertford Heath for her infectious laugh and big smile (and lots of jazz hands).
The group continued to meet for many years, even after Louisa sadly left us to go back to the Welsh valleys. Here’s a few snaps of some of the afternoons we spent together ☺️
