Welcome to the <strong>April</strong> <strong>2018</strong> issue of <strong>CR5</strong><br />

Magazine.<br />

I hope you all had a nice March despite<br />

several snowfalls. Luckily none of them<br />

lasted for long, but gave the youngsters<br />

time to enjoy building snowmen and<br />

sledging. Let us hope that spring is well<br />

and truly on its way and we can look<br />

forward to some warmer weather.<br />

No doubt gardening will be on everyone’s<br />

minds to prepare for the summer months<br />
