CHRISTMAS NEWSLETTER

Picture
Hello and welcome! We know it's been a difficult year for many people, so we thought we would produce a special cheery newsletter to brighten up December at least! Of course, it hasn't all been doom and gloom and we know that many residents feel lucky to have the lovely Danby Park and wood, as well as Marston Marshes on our doorstep for a quick escape from the house, even if it is just for a short time. 

if anybody needs help during these restricted times, perhaps with shopping or maybe just a friendly chat on the phone, please do get in touch through the 'contact us' button on this site, and one of our members will get back to you.

We wish you well during the Christmas period and send our best wishes for 2021 which we certainly hope will see a gradual return to something resembling normality in the New Year.  ERRA Committee
We have some additional pages to our Christmas Newsletter, just click on the links below to see more!

SNOWBALL
I made myself a snowball,
as perfect as could be'
​I thought I'd keep it as a pet,
and let it sleep with me.

I made it some pyjamas,
And a pillow for it's head.
Then last night it ran away,
But first I- t wet the bed!
