Greetings from Bernie Thompson Park We continue to enjoy our weekly ‘get-to-gethers’ on Thursdays at 4pm. They are very well attended and everyone is welcome. It seems ages ago now but several residents from BTP together with Rob’s friends enjoyed some of the goodies he won in the Giant Christmas Raffle. His hospitality was greatly appreciated. One of our regulars, Rae Brougham with her partner Alan Latham was successful in winning the Mixed Doubles Final conducted at Fingal Bay Bowling club recently. Congratulations Rae. On a sadder note one of our residents, Col Clarke, passed away just before Christmas. I miss looking out my kitchen window and seeing his beautiful roses. Vale. Rae Brougham is Bernie Thompson Park official welcomer and we look forward to meeting all new residents at all the village functions.

Page 8 Harbourside Haven Villages 2015 Fingal Haven February 2015 Best wishes to all readers of the Village Voice. We are privileged to live in security, and comfort in such a glorious part of creation. During the Christmas and New Year we have also have the opportunity to enjoy many wonderful social events. Currently Alan Triscott is busy putting together our own ‘Fingal Facts,’ to share the details of those great events, in word and picture. The paper, is provided to you free of charge, through the generosity of Shoal Bay Pharmacy, and now also from Fingal Bay Sports Club. Thank you Alan for continuing to generously use your time and talents to produce the monthly paper for our enjoyment of recent, and an understanding of future events. Remember to contact Alan with any special events or items you would like included. A special Milestone. Happy 98th Birthday to Fred Burton! A very warm welcome to our new residents, Rodney and Vivienne O’Toole in villa 91.It is so good to have you with us, we hope you will soon settle and feel at home in your new surroundings. We were all saddened to hear of Lee Guy’s passing in Harbourside NH after a Year long illness. Her happy nature and love of life endeared her to all. A wake was held in her honour. Condolences have been sent to Lee’s family. Whoever we are, for each of us there will have already been many changes to adjust to in the New Year. Change whether positive or negative can often be difficult to accept. My dear neighbor Thelma Job keeps me up to the mark and ‘growing,’ linguistically. Despite the many challenges and changes in her life Thelma is an inspiration to all who know her. Perspicacious [keen mental perception, discerning] is her word of the month. Like many, she laments the changes in language and many of the ways we now communicate. I have noted with perspicacity And report with my well known audacity No longer can we procrastinate, Our language is changing at a fast rate. With texting and twitter Email and tweet, Words we once used are now obsolete! ……Thelma Job Best wishes to all readers, and especially to those who are not so well. Please let me know details of events, special birthdays or anniversaries. Page 9 Margaret McMillan 49 811348 Harbourside Haven Villages 2015 What does being old mean to me?
