Special thanks to Patricia (Trish) Pickard, a resident at Penrose Almshouses for giving us permission to turn her fabulous photo into a Christmas e-card to you all!
Born in Barnstable in 1950, after a long career in the Care and Social sector including several years at the hospital, Trish came to live at the almshouses in 2007. She is always the first to jump to anyoneā€™s aid day or night and is loved for her good humour, jollity and caring nature. Every year Trish turns her imaginative talents to brightening up her front door at Christmas with some colourful additions such as these flowerpot men – don’t they look the part!
