This time, we plan to show the movie "Mrs Palfrey at The Claremont" on Sunday, 21st August at 6.30 pm in the Mapua Community Hall. Bring your own chair and drinks etc if you wish, but please be prepared to stay in your own bubble, with a wee space between you and the next bubble
Some of us go to the Sprig & Fern for a meal at around 5pm, and there will be a table reserved for any who would like to join us.
We have some excellent movies planned for coming winter, and this will be the first one for this year. So, we look forward to seeing you there. We have all missed the monthly occasion and all of you.
All income from this event will go towards the Mapua Community Hall!
Cheers,
Di& Peter, Reinhard & Angelika
Mrs. Palfrey (Joan Plowright) is a recently widowed English woman of independent means who decides to move to a small London hotel she saw advertised in a newspaper in Scotland. As so often happens the picture in the newspaper was much better than the reality she discovers upon her arrival! One of the things that had most attracted Mrs. Palfrey was the promise of enjoying some fine English cuisine. Something the taxi driver transporting her to her new home finds extremely amusing.
‘The Claremont’ turns out to be a crumbling old edifice that serves as a retirement home for a small, weird, but fascinating group of tenants: Once settled into her barely navigable room, Mrs. Palfrey meets her fellow 'inmates' at dinner and announces she has a doting grandson who will be calling on her at times. Yet despite multiple attempts her self-centred grandson Desmond (Lorcan O'Toole) doesn't respond and Mrs. Palfrey realizes she has ended up moving into a world of loneliness.
But then Mrs. Palfrey meets Ludovic when she has a fall on the sidewalk in front of his apartment. "Ludo" as he wants to be called is a busker - a young man who sings in the underground in exchange for coins thrown into his guitar case. Trying to be kind to Ludo she invites him for dinner at the Claremont and asks him to pretend he is her missing in action grandson. This proves to be the beginning of a happy and uncomplicated friendship between a woman at the end of her life and a young man just beginning his.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.
Free Citrus Fruit
I have been admiring the thoughtfulness of two of our neighbours who have been putting the harvest from their citrus tress (one grapefruit, one lime) outside their front gate ‘free to good home’. Earlier in the year someone put out box after box of apples

I have been admiring the thoughtfulness of two of our neighbours who have been putting the harvest from their citrus tress (one grapefruit, one lime) outside their front gate ‘free to good home’. Earlier in the year someone put out box after box of apples
It has brought to my attention the fair number of citrus trees laden with fruit I see when out walking. Our place is ever only overloaded with grapes (easy to give away) and then feijoas (less so) but I wondered if there is anyone else who might care put their excess fruit outside their gate in these times that some are finding a bit difficult?
