To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, we asked our residents to share some of their royal encounters with us. Fascinating!

What a fairy tale! A beautiful queen in a gold coach pulled by snow white horses. Could a child of ten believe that it was really happening in London? 
It must have been a colourful procession but that could only be imagined as we stared, spellbound at a small black and white television which was a wonderful 'magic box', a wondrous new… Read More

Now is the perfect time to start planning your summer garden, pots or hanging baskets for a vibrant pop of colour and joy throughout the season. You may like to consider a special planter of geraniums, begonias or petunias by the door, herbs on the windowsill or a signature scented rose or plant that evokes memories.

It’s no idle boast. Over thirty years ago, two men shared a visionary belief in a new way of retirement living. You can see it today in every aspect of Newlands of Stow and sister retirement community Bridge House of Twyford. Battling against a patchwork of disjointed government and commercial thinking, planning and building, they trod their own path to bring their pioneering ideas to fruition. It makes sense to let Amar, one of the founding directors, tell you how.
