Easter Bonnets at Rowden House

Recently, I went to Rowden House (after being unable to the week before due to Norovirus) and we got there just in time to see their Easter Bonnet parade. The staff invited all of the residents to the dining room, where I was playing my saxophone, playing some hymns that I had been practising specifically for Easter. Whilst it took them a while to congregate in the dining room (about 45 minutes!), a quick quiz all about Frome began, which no-one seemed to know any of the answers to due to the ridiculousness of the questions! After the quiz, the judging of the Easter bonnets began! All of the residents had already made their bonnets with their entertainer, although some had to swap owing to the size of their hats. In the end, the best bonnet won first place, but we were unsure about the following ones! It was really nice to see the effort that had gone into it, and the fun that all of the residents seemed to be having.
