Newsletter
November 2013
Welcome to Novembers newsletter. What a wet and windy month October
was and I hear it isn’t going to be much better through November, so hook
out your raincoats and umbrellas if you have any trips planned! I would like
to thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend our
Residents Meeting in October. We had some good feedback and the most
popular subject during the meeting seemed to be focused around some of
you requesting smelly cheese for your supper!!(you know who you are)! The
new Tuck-shop is now up and running and I hope that you are all enjoying
the chocolate and treats, - please remember to let me know if there is
anything else you would like me to add to the trolley.
We had our food standards inspection during October and I am very
pleased to say we have retained our level 5 rating. This is the highest rating
achievable so well done!!
Finally I bring you some good news about an extra exercise class: Sandra
will be here on Tuesday 5th November to take a Pilates class with you so
please find your leg warmers and come along and support her.

session with Julia. This has been very
popular already, it has been lovely seeing
you all either knitting, needle crafting, card
and pottery making. I am very much
looking forward to receiving my nice new
woolly jumper for Christmas!!
This month we have received
entertainment from a new act Tina J who I

Daffodils by William Wordsworth
I wander’d lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd
A host of golden Dafodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way
They stretch’d in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling weaves in glee
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company.
Thank You D Bullows for sharing one of your favourite
poems with us.
