Flora's Baby Shower & Farewell
/
We all gathered in a sea of baby blue decorations to celebrate Flora's bun in the oven (baby Claudio) and to bid her adieu after her two-year stint at the Astra. Flora's time at Astra was pure magic - her no-nonsense charm, engaging persona, and heartwarming smile left an everlasting mark on everyone. Her sense of humour was infectious, and her laugh will echo throughout the Astra long after her departure!
Amidst a feast of treats like cakes, macarons, cucumber sandwiches, and baby quiches, residents watched as Flora unwrapped a mountain of gifts and listened to heartfelt speeches from Sam, Penny, and Len. We also got to meet the new Office Manager, Glenn Piper (he's aware of the big shoes he's stepping into - it's been mentioned a few times!).
The afternoon was full of laughter and a few tears (especially from Nellie). Despite bidding farewell to Flora, she will continue managing sales and will visit the Astra during unit inspections. Although saying goodbye is tough, we'll still have the chance to see her occasionally, making it more of a "see you later" situation.
We will also see her when she brings Claudio in to meet all his extra grandparents and aunties!
