We would therefore like to reiterate the message we have shared over recent years.<br \/>\n<em><br \/>\nEvery year we are overwhelmed by the kindness extended to us by way of gifts. While we would never presume of course, what anyone does in this regard, we are very aware that this time of year can present many challenges for everyone.\u00a0 Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to say that a kind word, in a homemade card made by your child or a little message via email, would be so lovely to receive and would be appreciated by us every bit as much as any bought gifts, particularly when everyone is facing such challenging financial times right now.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The message above is sent with kindness and gratefulness from all of the Netherlee Staff and we hope that you don\u2019t mind us mentioning this to you.\u00a0 <em>Thank you. <\/em><em><br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Celebrating Scotland Lunch<\/strong><br \/>\nThere will be a change to the lunch menu on Wednesday November 30<sup>th<\/sup> to Celebrate Scotland.\u00a0 The menu will be:<br \/>\nSoup<br \/>\nScotch pie with beans and wedges<br \/>\nCheese toasties with diced potatoes and salad<br \/>\nBaked potato<br \/>\nSandwich or baguette<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christmas Lunch<\/strong><br \/>\nWe will be having our Christmas Lunch on Thursday 8<sup>th<\/sup> December.
