An Afternoon of Pimm's and Strawberries

28/6/2019

An afternoon of Pimm's and Strawberries took place Wednesday in the lounge at Brackenbury Manor, where everyone enjoyed a glass or two and a bowl of local Strawberries and cream.

A clothes show was also held at the weekly coffee morning, where the ladies could browse and try on garments before buying. The event was well attended and we all look forward to the next show in the Autumn.

Day Trip to Sherbourne Castle!

19/6/2019

Brompton Court Duty Managers, Sally and Suzie, accompanied 18 owners on a day trip to Sherborne Castle which was built by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1594 and the stately home of the Digby family since 1617. A fascinating visit to the historic home awaited us all as we walked in the footsteps of SIR WALTER RALEIGH in the home he built more than 400 years ago. We discovered magnificent staterooms, a Tudor kitchen and the Family Museum in the Castle's cellars! With 42 acres of beautiful English landscape gardens, we marvelled at the spectacular views. We took lunch in the award winning Tea Room and then browsed the Gift Shop for a souvenir or two of our visit. Derek the coach driver was a star and a good day was had by all. Thank you Sally for organising a great day... next stop- Kinston Lacy!

Sunset Duo performed for the residents today at Holmesdale Manor. In fact, the duo turned out to be a solo but that did not stop the enjoyment. It was a great performance. A special thanks to Frank, Kathryn, Maggie and Valerie for organising the event.
