In The Loop – Dec 2015
Well the weather outside really is frightful this morning at Stoke Lodge. Even the squirrels and dog walkers have thought better of it and are nowhere to be seen!
We just wanted to take a moment to wish all our learners, volunteers and supporters a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us here at Stoke Lodge.
We will be back open, bright eyed and bushy tailed on Monday 4th January.
