Summer days...

now that we are getting some sunshine, residents are making the most of opportunities to get out in the garden. Our garden club is organised by a kind, local volunteer who takes residents to the garden centre to choose plants and helps them to maintain their tubs.

This bit of gardening gives enormous satisfaction to those who take part and pleasure to everyone for the rest of the season.

Meanwhile the rest of us get in some exercise and competition with a game of giant outdoor darts.

 A number of residents and staff went to the Mill theatre a few weeks ago to see the local production of 'Gypsy'. They had a great time and stayed up till mid night chatting about the experience. 
We  hope to go again to future productions.  
This week we held a strawberry cream tea for residents and to thank our volunteers who give us so much help and support. The home has benefited from some marvellous and loyal volunteers who have, for example, run an exercise class every week for fourteen years, kept our entrance stocked with flowers or served teas for nearly thirty years.  In addition we also have a regular group who help with outings, events and generally befriend our residents. 

 We are very appreciative of all their help.

Coming up: next week, the church fete will be held in the gardens and we hope to take residents on a boat trip soon.
