A few weeks ago we planted some sunflower seeds here at Primrose House and just loo at how well they’re doing already. They’ve been enjoying the sunny window we’ve placed them in front of and it will soon be time for them to go into the garden.
It doesn’t matter what your age is everyone enjoys pancakes right?’
Well our residents certainly do; whether its the classic lemon and sugar or banana and maple syrup. It was smiles all round for this tasty treat some of the residents even added squirty cream too. 
A lovely session with the Monday group, reminiscing and chatting about Christmas. We started off playing a game of give me 5 where residents had to name things from a specific category (e.g. things you eat at Christmas). We then spoke about the history of the Christmas tree and all the traditions we have, looking at photos from the 50s and 60s to spark memories and interesting conversation. 
We 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! 
On Saturday we had a special blessing for Linda’s daughter Louise, and son in law Billy, who got married in the summer. As Linda was unable to attend, we recreated the day in her room with Rev Jules conducting the service, and all the family all dressed up! Linda’s partner Alan also sang a song he’d written for the couple. Louise and Billy made the most of our lovely garden, having photos taken by their photographer! They also enjoyed a wedding feast!
