Wharekaka Fun

February 9, 2015 February 2015 No Comments

Wharekaka-fun
The silly season provided us with plenty of opportunities to celebrate here at Wharekaka.
The Trust Board held their annual BBQ which was a night of fun and frivolity that saw the residents hit the dance floor to the wonderful tunes of Mr Lance Naysmith.

We also held a very special pre-xmas lunch complete with beautiful table decorations, bubbly and a special visit from the man in the red suit who bought all manner of wonderful gifts.

The highlight of the Xmas period was taking part in the spectacular Martinborough Christmas Parade, it was a fun event that had the resdients buzzing for days.

More recently we have been taking advantage of the good weather by going for walks, scenic drives and spending some time out on our wonderful sunny deck, may the good weather continue!
