Autumn Fun at The Manor

I can’t believe how much fun they’ve been having at The Manor of late! Day of the Dead and Halloween celebrations – don’t be alarmed by the scissors in the head – a rather too realistic fancy dress prop! Pumpkins carving, cake baking and decorating, and Trick or Treating! And plenty of arts and crafts – painting dry leaves and driftwood for Autumn hanging baskets. Wonderful!Painting pinecones and driftwood at The Manor Exeter Pumpkin decoration at The Manor Exeter

More Halloween Fun at The Lilacs

With no Trick or Treaters this year, the staff  and residents at The Lilacs in Exeter had to make their own fun! Pumpkin carving, apple bobbing, cake decorating, fancy dress, and even a bit of dancing! Sounds like a great evening!!Lilac House - Trick or Treat Lilac House - Halloween cakes Lilac House - biscuit making

Exeter Dementia Action Alliance Calendar 2021

Stonehaven are really proud to be sponsoring the 2021 Exeter Dementia Action Alliance Calendar. All the artwork is created by award winning Cartoonist Tony Husband, a friend of Stonehaven.  The calendar is a great way to share the work of the EDAA across the city, raise local awareness about dementia through 2021 and enable them to continue their amazing work on a sustainable basis. Gina Awad, founder of the alliance popped into Dove Tree House last week to deliver some of the calendars hot off the press – they look fantastic!
