Luckily, Thursday 17th April 2020 was a bright sunny day! The children at St Mary’s School and Crèche were invited by Steve to the Residency for an Easter egg hunt. The younger children were especially enthusiastic about continuing the tradition championed by Marina and Sean Burns.

The children were welcomed to the Residency by Co-Administrator Steve Townsend. They began by having a drink of juice while listening to the instructions for the hunt. Around the garden were hidden enough foil-wrapped potatoes for all the children.

With older and younger children working together, all the potatoes were found and exchanged for chocolate goodies! After another drink and a biscuit, it was time to thank Steve and head back to school - pockets filled with chocolate treats!
