THE GRANGE GAZZETTE

JANUARY 2017 EDITION

 

We hope you enjoyed a lovely Christmas and wish residents, families, friends and staff a very Happy New Year.

 

Firstly, we would like to thank everyone for their support during our Christmas Fayre in December. You helped to raise a fantastic £1,285.40 which we have added to the Resident’s Fund.  The fund provides activities and entertainment for everyone and your contributions continue to make such a difference.

We would also like to thank Father Christmas for calling at the Grange to see all the children and grandchildren during our ‘Breakfast with Santa’ event. We had a lovely

morning and everyone would like to thank you for their presents and letters.

POEM OF THE MONTH

 

THE WIND OF JANUARY

By Christina Rossetti

 

On the wind on January,

Down flits the snow

Travelling from the frozen North

As cold as it can blow.

Poor robin redbreast,

Look where he comes,

Let him in to feel your fire,

And toss him of your crumbs.
