What a week it’s been! We hope everyone in our community has stayed safe over the past few days. It hasn’t been all wind and rain at HillView—despite the wet weather, we still enjoyed Pancake Day, a pre-Alfred bus outing, and plenty of painting and exercise to keep us happy and healthy! Now, as the weather starts to clear up, we’re looking forward to more sunny days ahead. ☀️🌿
