“I want to create a long overdue post in praise of the wonderful Flo Osborne. Flo is 89 years young and lives in Sheltered accommodation in Dovercourt. During lockdown and beyond in her tiny kitchen on several occasions Flo has cooked up to 20 wonderful fruit or meat pies. (Well over 100 in total ) for us to distribute amongst the vulnerable and elderly through our NEST /Harwich community centres hot meals service.
Every pie is made from scratch, the pastry mixed and rolled the fruit prepared and then cooked in her tiny oven. This is, I believe a remarkable act of community kindness, also a huge victory over age and supposed infirmity.
The amazing Flo really is a social media hero.”
