The people here at Springhead Park House gave us an incredible welcome on Wednesday. Upon our arrival many appeared to help carry our cases in. Our home was decorated (including the front door - below) with balloons, cards and flowers.
We were amazed (and very grateful) for the amount of work they had put into our flat (apartment). A wall had been taken down to make more room, the place had been painted and
all of the things that my sister and brother-in-law had brought up here were unpacked. The beds were made, the pantry was stocked and there was food in the fridge and food for us in someone else's freezer (we don't have our own yet)
Throughout Wednesday many people came in to introduce themselves and even offered to help us unpack. I'm sure it will take a while to get all the names straight.
On Thursday evening two of the ladies here brought us dinner so I wouldn't have to worry about cooking while I continued the unpacking.
So a BIG thank you to all here at Springhead Park House for making us feel so welcome and comfortable in our new home.
