An Owner at Churchill Retirement Living\u2019s Sachs Lodge in Torquay<\/strong> <\/a>has been sharing her skills in card-making with the local community. Beryl Williams has been making cards for two decades and upon her move to Sachs Lodge, wanted to share her skills with her new neighbours and visiting guests.<\/p>

Beryl said: \u201cWhen I retired 20 years ago, I wanted to take on a hobby that would occupy my time, and that was relaxing, yet enjoyable. I tried ceramics first, but all of the equipment takes up so much room, and there was a lot of heavy lifting, so I decided that wasn\u2019t for me. I then tried card-making and paper-folding and straight away I seemed to have an affinity for it.<\/p>

\u201cIt started first when my husband and I lived in Northampton, and I shared my passion with friends and neighbours; then when my husband retired and we moved to Plymouth, I did exactly the same thing After passing my exams in parchment craft I progressed to a tutor certificate in Pergamano. I am self-taught, and I like to use my skills to teach other people to make beautiful cards too.\u201d<\/p>

Beryl and her husband recently purchased a two-bedroom apartment at Sachs Lodge. Beryl adds:<\/p>

We lived in our home in Plymouth for 20 years, but when we were looking to downsize we loved the idea of a new build apartment, with very little maintenance, and it hasn\u2019t disappointed. It is very difficult downsizing, and you find you don\u2019t have as much room to store things as you once had, but the better quality of life it gives us is fantastic.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\"Living here also allows me to continue to share my passion for card-making. Some of the Owners here like to join me, and Jo our Lodge Manager has spread the word amongst her friends and family, and now members of the local community come in to make cards with me. I recently held a card-making class which everyone really seemed to enjoy, and I loved meeting new people and teaching them something new. We made lots of different cards, including Christmas cards and also Christmas decorations which I taught them by paper-folding.\u201d<\/p>

Beryl goes one step further with her card-making, by donating every card she makes to charities and local causes. She said:<\/p>

I\u2019ve never sold my cards for money and often donate them to charity for them to then sell on and make the money for themselves. I have donated cards to the Torquay League of Friends which is also our Lodge charity, and at the moment everything I make is going to Macmillan, which as a Lodge we support annually through the World\u2019s Biggest Coffee Morning!<\/p><\/blockquote>
