Our Annual Harvest Festival Celebration.

18/10/2020

We had our Harvest Festival with a difference this year - outside in our summer marquee so that we could socially distance and sing our praises! A beautiful day for our residents to enjoy the stunning displays of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Many thanks to Rev. Martin Jacques and Linda for a beautiful service, lovely to see them!

We have a bumper crop in the garden this year, with all the lovely weather we've had. Pat hands her produce over to Sue, so that she can work her magic in the kitchen! Our lucky residents will be getting healthy, nutritious meals, grown right here at The Old Vicarage. You can't get fresher than that!!

Pre-lockdown drinks in the pub

Early March gave us an opportunity to get down the King's Arms in the village for a drink or two and good old natter. Little did we know that lockdown was on the way. Lucky we got out and about while we could. We'll be back when we can!

Every Sunday our residents, staff and the family get together before lunch for a glass of sherry and to discuss themes in our local and national newspapers, often sparking a lively debate! This week for a change, we weren't just reading the news, we were the news! Two great articles in the Budleigh / Exmouth Journals and in the Exeter Daily, congratulating us on our national awards and on receiving an 'Oustanding' for caring following our CQC inspection.
If you haven't seen the articles already, you can click on the links below:

Also a short video from the management team, showing how proud we are of our dedicated, kind and caring staff, who work so hard every day to improve the lives of our residents - these awards are for each of you.
