How we transformed the Garden
By Meirionfa
Several months ago all the tenants agreed in a tenant’s meeting that we would work
together with the support of staff to transform our garden. When the weather improved
the hard work began. The first task was to clear the garden of all the overgrown shrubs
and weeds. We also knocked down the old wooden shed and Joe and Mickey helped
staff to dispose of it. Everyone joined in to help paint the wooden fence and Mickey
painted the garden wall. Everyone chose plants and flowers to plant. With staff support
we chose plants that do not need too much looking after and flowers that will attract
butterflies to our garden. Lucy found a bird box in the shrubs which Mickey had made
for her and she painted it ready to hang up. Glenys and Mark have been busy planting
the pots and watering them in the evenings. After all the hard work we are looking
forward to enjoying our beautiful garden!

Chips and Mayonnaise

By Penri Davies

I went on holiday to Brugge/ Bruges. I was happy to have a front seat on the coach. The
driver’s name was Rich. The coach went on the train in the channel tunnel.
In Bruges I went on a boat trip on the canal on a sunny day. I also rode in one of the five
horses and carriages. When it was raining I went to shops, museums, restaurants, a nun’s
village, churches, on a tour of a brewery with steep stairs and drank beer at the end.
At Martin’s hotel I had buffet breakfast’s, went
in the lifts, drank Belgian hot chocolate and
coffee and played Scrabble in the bar.
I liked Bruges, I like Belgian food, stew, steak,
lasagne, chocolate, waffles, ice creams, and
chips with mayonnaise. I walked on the
cobbles for miles. I saw a lot of bikes
everywhere with bells ringing. One bike
skidded and nearly crashed into our horse and
carriage.
