Marie Ousby, a resident who received a cream tea, said: "I’ve had to shield for weeks because of underlying health conditions, not going out has made this a particularly difficult time for me.
"I have been able to meet my friends on the online coffee morning and we have a good laugh which cheers me up. We also got to play bingo and have a disco online, which was lots of fun. It’s been good to know support is there if I need it."
