Our residents made homemade fathers' day gifts for all our wonderful gentlemen, and our resident ambassador, Norman, delivered them personally with the help from Mark and Liz. It's been a wonderful day. We hope all your fathers had a great day.
Festival of Flowers!
Longueville Court residents had a lovely time this afternoon at the Flower Festival at Ferry Meadows. Fabulous to see the field of colour which our residents participated in. It was a truly beautiful display to look at. All those taking part should be so proud of themselves!!!

As the sun was shining we decided to take a trip to our local watering hole for a few drinks in the beer garden, it was a lovely afternoon of laughter.
Rugby time!!
A special day was enjoyed by one of our residents, Louise. As part of our wishing tree project, Louise asked if she could go to watch her favourite team play rugby!! Two of our ladies, Martine and Liz, made her wish come true this weekend, as they went to see the Northampton Saints play at their home ground and had a spot of lunch too!!!
