Festive Cheer

We’ve planned and we’ve plotted, we’ve dusted and swept,
We’ve weeded and painted until we’ve all wept.
Stanton finally opened as a small B&B,
And guests we’ve had plenty, both paying and free.
So Stanton belongs now in public domain
And guests who have once stayed, as friends will again.
She’s more than a business, more than ‘rooms with a bed’,
She lives past and present, and for what lies ahead.
So the one-eyed white dog and the small chocolate cat,
And the oft absent host with the navy blue hat….
All join with the hostess (read: Washer of Dishes),
To wish all and sundry Stanton’s very best wishes.
May your Christmas be joyful with large laden reindeer,
And hopefully Stanton might see you all next year.
The very best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from all at Stanton

Well Helen, you and Mark surely have left your mark in New Norfolk. Stanton is a beautiful home and I am sure that you had some many happy times there.
To Mark, our deepest condolences on the loss of your wonderful wife Helen and Derwent Valley FRIEND that we have ALL lost.
It is such a tragic loss of a very special and wonderful lady who always had the time to chat with everybody, never complaining or looking ill apart from hair loss. I certainly will never forget her, her charm, laughter and infectious smile.
ALL that knew Helen grieve with you Mark and the families, she will be forever in our hearts and never forgotten.
Passions will never be the same again for a coffee and chat.
WE HAVE LOST ANOTHER ANGEL.
