Spreading Some Musical Cheer @ Woodhayes
/in NewsGraeme comes to sing in the lounge on a monthly basis we really enjoy it not just the live music itself but how quickly the cheer spreads through the home. Unfortunately not all residents can make it to the lounge so it was decided for Graeme to visit some resident in their rooms for a sing song too.
Bonfire Night S’mores @ Bluebell House
/in NewsOur residents enjoyed a classic sweet treat of s’mores in this cold weather. Who doesn’t enjoy toasted marshmallows and chocolate outside?!
A Spot Of Snooker @ Primrose House
/in NewsWe had a game of snooker during men’s group last week! The cue was quite hard to hit the balls with, and so the gents improvised and used their hands instead for most of it. There was also a lot of cheating which made for lots of laughter!
Christmas Time @ The Manor
/in NewsChristmas snacks and drinks have begun here at The Manor! We’ve even started with the Christmas games! Mo and Sheila had great fun playing a festive game with Jacob, who bravely wore the inflatable reindeer antlers while they tried to toss the hoops over them! Our lovely residents have also enjoyed a lovely festive outing to the garden centre. We wrapped up warm, hopped on our bus, and spent the morning exploring the displays. Here we are soaking up the Christmas magic. So stay tuned for what is to come in December!!!
