MOTHERS DAY

Notwithstanding the walking wounded, Great Grandma, Nanna, Grandad, Katy and Dawn went out to the Lounge for Mothers Day lunch and a very good one it turned out to be.

Grandma returned to the Fracture Clinic at York Hospital on Monday and had a new "pot" put on her arm. This has helped and she returned home yesterday evening. Carers will be calling twice a day to make sure she is ok and Nanna and Grandad will pay regular visits.
