Resident Spotlight
Introducing Kay, a long-term resident of Oakdale Residential Village for over 13 years. Kay shares her cosy Villa, pictured below, with her much loved 3-year-old rag doll cat Zina. Before Zina, Kay lovingly cared for a beautiful little dog called Poco who sadly passed away and is very much missed by Kay and other residents of the Village.
Kay loves the companionship and the unconditional love provided by pets. Both Zina and Poco before her have been looked after very well, with great care taken to ensure her pets do not impact other residents of the Village or the native wildlife.
“When Poco was alive, I always made sure he was on a lead when he was walked, and I always cleaned up after him. Zina is either inside or in a cat run in my backyard, so she is not a threat to native wildlife. We have many wonderful native birds which visit the Village, and I don’t want them harmed or discouraged in anyway. I like to think I am a responsible pet owner”
Kay
Kay has had an interesting life having been born in Singapore, her father being posted to Singapore as a member of the British Royal Air Force. She lived in various countries until returning to Cornwall in England and then moving to Australia in 1972. She then worked in a variety of jobs until retiring and moving to Oakdale Residential Village in 2013.
Kay has seen many changes in the 13 years she has lived at Oakdale Residential Village. Many of the older cabins have been removed making way for new modular homes, with plenty of sites still available for those who wish to take advantage of the affordable housing options available within a secure Land Lease community. They own their own home and lease the site from the Village.
Besides looking after Zina, Kay enjoys gardening and reading. She is looking forward to assisting in the soon to be established community garden. Interested residents will be able to grow their own herbs and vegetables with any surplus produce being available for sale to raise money for selected charities.
Final words from Kay
“I love the peace and quiet here. Gary & Fiona, the resident caretakers do a wonderful job maintaining the Village and have made it a great place to live. It is improving all the time.
I don’t intend to go anywhere and am looking forward to the many improvements which will be happening in the next couple of years.”
