Don’t forget that we can eat together any day; £3 per head can be pooled towards a shared meal.

Ideas tried out so far range from the menu at the white Lion, mini fish meals, a light buffet to homemade soup and rolls.

We will do something “for the Queen” at some point, some family members are talking about ideas that I am sure will grow into something good. 

Remember that everyday can be tailored to suit you, the idea on the plan tells you generally what’s on, you can of course use the pods, do your own thing, ie plant outside, cook, read, go shopping, go out for a coffee with other members etc  

ALSO – Remember that Tracey is around for each of you to chat to, for help in sorting appointments dealing with IT, finding advice and so on…
