spring

Early most mornings I take a walk down the garden with the cat, to let out the chickens, check out the plants and chill out before that start of the day. There is a lot of wildlife and some good photo-opportunities

Residents have been enjoying the unseasonable sunshine and spending a lot of time in the garden. Here they are having coffee and a giggle with staff who brought in some wigs to try on.

On Wednesday, a harpist came to play for us while residents enjoyed a traditional cream tea in the garden.

 Our sponsored walk takes place on 21st. April and we are hoping that a good number of families and friends will get sponsored and come with us.

Recently Merlin went a-wandering and cost staff and residents a lot of worry. A good deal of shoe leather was wasted looking for him around the neighbourhood and we are most grateful to all the people in the village who responded to our posters  and kept an eye out for him.
He turned up four days later, appearing from our barn, which had been searched several times. He was very hungry but unharmed.

We held our spring tea party on St. Patricks day. Residents made decorations, with shamrock garlands and Irish music were contributed  by the family of our Irish resident.

The home has some excellent volunteers who helped produce the cakes and savouries. 

Visitors were asked to join in a sponsored walk in April to raise money for the home.  Sharnbrook House is part of a 'not for profit'
organisation  and is able to provide the care needs of the residents, but fund raising can help us to provide the extras; things like a special computer or other items to benefit our residents.


Spring is coming and the garden is beginning to sprout. The picture below was actually taken last year but we are getting impatient!
