On the weekend of the 5/6/7th of October we opened the doors of Heathside for our open house. Visitors flocked to see the house with plenty of new faces as well as those who have travelled the long journey to this weekend. We had over 200 people through the door and people were stunned by how great the place was looking. It certainly has the 'wow' factor.

Ministers from the Methodist, United Reform Church, Catholic and Anglican churches joined us in blessing the new house. What else could a house want; bread, water, a Bible, a candle and party poppers. You figure it out.

We asked our guests to have their picture taken and to leave us a message. The walls were soon covered with happy, excited faces.

And the weather was so good we even managed to have impromptu bacon sarnies in the garden. What a weekend.

The house opens this month and we can't wait to get started.
