Welcome to November’s News
Our annual excursions to Otter Nurseries will be on Wednesday 4th with multiple trips on the day so everyone who wishes to go , will be taken. It is always a highlight to the run up to Christmas ( yes that word again).
For anyone off to the Ottery Tar Barrel event, enjoy and be safe. For those of you who have never been, it is something to behold. As an Ottery girl you have to do, there is nothing like being in a massive crowd with nowhere to go with a flaming Tar barrel coming towards you, Duck and lean is my advice……
We have a show called the D Day Dollies on the 12th, a Staff dress up day, think there will be a few Land Girls to join in with the singing.
Our Remembrance service will be on 25th, Our glorious Poppy Tree is up, (I hope Phyllis will be looking down on us to approve her display) It is something we started in 2021Phylis knitted a LOT of Poppys in remembrance of all those lost in the war, so we brought out the Christmas Tree (yes that word again) and decorated it with all the Poppys. The tree in later years came out even earlier and was decorated for Halloween as it has been this year, it then becomes our Remembrance tree, then decorated for Christmas. ( it won’t be long now).
Please have your RSVP’s back by November 20th so we can cater for you at the Christmas Party. The Residents have all had a say in what food they would like, and it sounds like it will be a good lunch.
We would like to wish Dr Asif Gadari good luck in his new GP post in Sheffield, and welcome Dr Jim Ferrer as our new homes GP. We look forward to working with you. GP visits will now be on a Wednesday, instead of Thursday.
Happy birthday to
John on the 10th
and
Kevin on the 18th
