The boys & girls in the senior building have been busy counting this week to see if they could figure out the number of eggs in our Easter display...No-one actually managed to get the real number....however there were 4 who were only 1 number away. …..Well Done. Also we had 2 “Off the Wall” winners whose guesses were so far away from the real number they deserved a prize !!! 🥚 🍫
