ON April 20, National Care Homes Open Day was celebrated at Cartref Care Home in Hay-on-Wye.

The occasion was marked by holding a flower festival, with the flowers being beautifully arranged by staff and residents from the home.

The event was well attended and visitors enjoyed the cream teas and home made cakes that were served throughout the day.

In the afternoon an informal service was held led by Rev. Gordon Bingham from Bethesda Evangelical Church.

Pastor Bingham also sang a solo accompanied on the harp by Paul Sweeting.
