Special day for fathers at local care home

With the lovely warm weather residents were able to enjoy meeting up with loved ones in the home’s garden before head chef at Bayleaf, Stephane Roqueta, presented each of the Father’s their own personalised present from the home. There was then a special Father’s Day lunch prepared for all of the residents.
