Apple strudel and music bring Austria to Elphin Lodge
“It was a relaxing time and everyone enjoyed themselves,”
The flavours, music and colours of Austria transported Elphin Lodge residents to the Alps for a day of good food and great company.
About 40 people gathered at the retirement village’s Elphino’s coffee shop at the end of October for an Austrian-themed event arranged by the village’s entertainment committee.
The coffee shop received a festive Austrian makeover, with red-and-white-checked tablecloths, Austrian greetings on cards placed on the tables and the Austrian flag adding to the atmosphere.

Austrian music played as residents enjoyed apple strudel and cream, accompanied by a hot beverage of their choice.
Long tables encouraged residents to sit together and socialise.
“It was a relaxing time and everyone enjoyed themselves,” said Wanda De Groot of Elphino’s.
The next themed event is planned for the first quarter of the new year.
