The Henley Beach Day Programs team brought the Royal Adelaide Show experience to life earlier this month with their very own version — and what a day it was! Participants enjoyed a range of activities, including vibrant art and craft displays, fun games, and even some replica animals to add to the fun.

The day was full of laughter, creativity, and community spirit, with everyone taking home a goodie bag as a souvenir.

Huge thanks to the Henley Beach Day Programs team for setting up such a fantastic event! 💖

🌸 Spring has arrived and nature is putting on quite the show!

There's something magical about those first delicate blossoms that appear - like nature's gentle reminder that after every winter comes renewal and beauty. The plum trees are among the first to bloom, their soft petals a promise of warmer days ahead.

It's these simple moments that remind us to pause, breathe deeply, and appreciate the seasonal rhythms that surround us. Spring doesn't arrive with fanfare - it whispers its way in through tender buds and the sweet fragrance of blossoms on the breeze.

Here's to embracing the fresh energy of the season and all the growth and possibilities it brings. 🌿
