LOVE was in the air this Valentine's Day for a special group of care home residents who have made new friends with youngsters at a school.
What started as sending a few Christmas cards has now led to a lasting bond and friendship between a primary school and a care home.
In December, Kirkbride Primary School youngsters were asked to send cards to the residents of Inglewood Residential Care Home in Wigton — and the whole school got behind it, sending in dozens of cards, spreading festive cheer among residents.
The relationship has been helped by Leanne Witherington, who is a community champion at the Asda store in Kingstown.
