We would like to wish Mrs Hill a very happy 104th Birthday and many more years to come in good health, happiness and prosperity. From all at Deercote Court.
On Wednesday 1st May, 16 owners went on an outing to the Kidderminster Carpet Museum, this was following on from a carpet spinning demonstration that was held here at Eastbank Court a few weeks previously. The owners were treated to tea and biscuits and a talk about the history of carpet making in Kidderminster. They then had the chance to explore the museum and look at the machinery that was used to make carpets years ago. Finally, they stopped off at a local pub for a drink and some lunch before returning home. All had a great day and once again a big thank you to Mr Herington for organising the outing.
A talk by guest speaker Paul Miles
Bournemouth Square can certainly be dated back to the 1870's, but how did that title originate? Paul Miles took us on a whistle stop illustrated history tour of Bournemouth town centre feature, ‘The Square’ and how it got its name! A fascinating afternoon indeed. Next month, we will be going with Paul on a ‘Walking Tour’ of the Square, which won’t be far as it’s a stone throw away from the Court.
The Browning Court Arms was opened for a pub celebration, serving pork crackles and apple sauce, baskets of chips and bar snacks. The event was filled with fun, laughter and singing.
Chez Fred boasts the best fish and chips in Bournemouth and has always been popular here at Brompton so any excuse will do to order in a takeaway!
Joining us this evening was a young gentleman called Michael ( aged 16!) who is starting out doing small gigs here and there, entertaining people with his close up card magic. He really enjoyed meeting the owners and wowed them with his magic and charm.
We had the pleasure of Roxanne, a folk/sea shanti musician, returning to Brompton, performing a mixture of her own works and well-known songs. A very talented lady with a beautiful voice… Her loyal companion, Rebel, a beautifully behaved collie was an added extra enjoyed by all. A lovely afternoon indeed.
