Is there a Street
Party in the house?
There certainly was! Chase House enjoyed their own street party on 25th
August. The retirement home officially opened their vintage style street
complete with shops, a pub, bus stop and “Steptoes Yard”. Officially
opened by one of their ladies who was celebrating her 103’ birthday that
day. Food included pork pie, spam sandwiches, jam tarts and cakes. Staff
dressed up, including a Pearly King, Chimney Sweep and Land Army girl.
With an entertainer on hand, everyone had a great time. Images supplied
by Chase House.
Spot the lawnmower
You would be forgiven for missing him at first glance, but the picture
below shows Dave Whittaker of ACORN hard at work cutting the
footpath in Millpits Meadow, so that everyone can enjoy their walks
more. As you can see Dave was closely supervised by local dog Trevor.
ACORN - or Arlesey Conservation For Nature – are a group of
volunteers that help keep the footpaths clear. You can find out more
about them @ www.arleseywalks.co.uk
Dave told us that the stream in the background is the River Hiz.
This is a chalk stream which Daves says is quite rare. It runs from here
into the River Ivel at Henlow Grange. And it is also the river that runs
through Henlow, in front of the church.
