“Sorry about my meat eaters scoffing
all the veggie food - I don't think they

and bread, with homemade quiche or cold meats, salads;
cheese board; fresh fruit; and teas and filter coffee.
Dinner - The main meal of the day: a substantial
main course, followed by dessert, cheese and biscuits,
fresh fruit, teas and coffee.
Drinks - A wide variety or teas,
caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee and coffee
substitutes are available to residents at all times.
