Lapwing Apartments in Orton Brimbles provides community living for the over 55s with on-site care.

Residents and guests were enthralled as Jennie regaled them with anecdotes from her varied career, and also enjoyed music from Luna Nightingale. Jennie said: “It was lovely to meet the residents and staff at Lapwing Apartments. It is such a warm and welcoming place, with outstanding facilities. Indeed, I was very jealous of the library and the grand piano!”

Cross Keys Homes (CKH) chief executive Claire Higgins said: “We were delighted to be joined by Jennie to mark such a key milestone in CKH’s provision of housing for older people.”
