Leonard Lodge, Brentwood, residents celebrate Easter

Leonard Lodge in Roxwell Gardens, Hutton, Brentwood, hosted traditional activities for its elderly residents over the Easter holiday, which has run from Good Friday (March 29) until Easter Monday (April 1).

Activities, such as creating "wonderful" Easter cakes, were on the bill this Easter Sunday (March 31), and a resident said it reminded her of baking with her children when they were small.
