Musical Fun with Kidley Divey
We had a fantastic and energetic session with Kidley Divey!
The room was alive with singing, dancing, and joyful energy – everyone was on their feet or tapping along!
Celebrating 104 Wonderful Years!
We had a big celebration as our lovely Nora turned 104 years old!
She was joined by friends and fellow residents for a delightful afternoon tea party at our in-house pub, The Lamb Inn.
A Morning on the Golf Course
A brilliant morning on the golf course with not one, but a few holes in one!
Great fun, plenty of laughs, and lots of cheers all around – what a fantastic way to start the day!
Fitness with Resistance Bands
We had a powerful fitness session, focusing on strengthening our upper arms and shoulders using resistance bands.
Strong starts make strong weeks!

Church Service with Special Vestments
At our recent Church service, Reverend Sarah shared a touching surprise – a collection of beautiful hand-sewn cassocks and stoles, lovingly crafted many years ago by our very own Maureen.
What an honour it was to see her artistry on display!
Our residents took a moment to reconnect with themselves during a deeply calming and meditative session led by the wonderful Hayley.
With gentle movements, guided breathing, and a serene atmosphere, everyone was able to find their own moment of stillness and peace. It was a beautiful way to stretch both body and mind.

What a fabulous afternoon of music and memories with Julie Sings Karaoke!
Julie had the whole room tapping their feet and clapping along as she performed beloved favourites — and even took requests from our residents.
From golden oldies to timeless classics, everyone got to hear (and sing along with!) the songs they love.
Poetry Corner – Ann Recites “The Snail”
Our lovely Ann delighted us all at today’s Poetry Corner, reciting the charming poem “The Snail” entirely from memory.
A beautiful moment shared with friends and full of gentle inspiration.

Tissue Flower Crafting on the Terrace!
Our residents had a truly lovely afternoon outdoors for a special arts & crafts session with the wonderful Wendy.
Shaded by the terrace and surrounded by summer blooms, they created stunning tissue paper flowers while enjoying the fresh air and laughter.
Parachutes, Laughter & Juggling with Julie!
What a joyful day of movement and teamwork! Our residents had great fun with the colourful parachute, testing coordination and sharing laughs.
The highlight? Julie showing off her juggling skills—she kept us all entertained! Activities like these are a wonderful way to keep minds and bodies active.

An afternoon well spent with a classic game of dominos!
Laughter, strategy, and a little friendly competition made for a delightful time among our residents.
With the sun shining, our residents made the most of the lovely weather by relaxing outside with their some reading and a drink.
