March's Meet the Author; Lorna Marlow
Storytelling is at its best, especially when spoken from the heart by the writer; Lorna Marlow author. Today our residents and guests were captivated by author Lorna as she read aloud the first chapter of her debut novel.
Finding Home tells the story of 'Lucy' a woman who wants for nothing, except love, respect and financial independence! Trapped in a gilded cage of violence and loss, it takes a surprise inheritance from a distant relative, to enable Lucy to start again. As we listened to Lorna tell the tale of Lucy, her words took us on an emotional rollercoaster, we imagined each character in detail and were hooked to find out more!
Lorna's debut novel is the first of many we hope to read within the Claremont Book Club.
If you wish to join us on our regular storytelling journey, please contact our Activities Team on 01536 484494 to find out more. Book recommendations, and suggestions for our next guest authors are welcome.
Come along and read alone, or listen with the group. We'll take time to discuss each chapter, and character together over tea and cake in the comfort of our home.
We'd like to thank Lorna Marlow author for making today's 'Book Club' launch so enthralling.
Mothering Sunday with Family and Friends
What a wonderful ‘Afternoon Tea’ we had with family, and friends of our residents for this years’ Mothering Sunday.
Everyone enjoyed a lovely selection of freshly made finger sandwiches and an array of sweet treats.
Happy moments together make all the difference. Whether you're a mother in care, working mum, or visiting mother taking time to share your love with others.
Everyone at Claremont Parkway hopes all mothers had a very special day yesterday... just as special as they are.
