There’s nothing quite like a dose of Dave Dawson to kick the New Year off with energy, laughter, and plenty of fun! When Dave’s at Millway, everyone joins in – his enthusiasm is totally contagious, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. From belting out classics from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, to country and western favourites and good old traditional London tunes, the room was alive with music and smiles. An absolutely brilliant time was had by all – great fun, as always!

There are many services available here at Millway House to help everyone feel comfortable and at home. These include having daily newspapers or magazines delivered, visits from a podiatrist, a visiting dentist, and the delivery of anything residents may need to support their comfort and wellbeing.

Many of our residents have had their hair done weekly for over 13 years. Services include blow-dry, shampoo and set, perms, cuts, and colour. Sue has been our regular hairdresser throughout this time, and she has built up many wonderful friendships with residents, families, and staff through the service she provides here at Millway House.

We all know the lovely feeling of visiting the hairdresser—having our hair done and being made to feel extra special. When residents visit Sue in the Millway salon, that is exactly how they feel. They enjoy sharing stories, chatting about their families, holidays, and everyday life, just as we all do when we visit a salon.

Going to have their hair done weekly is very important to many of our residents, especially those who have followed this routine for many years. It is uplifting and helps them feel valued and special.

Sue has been a hairdresser for over 40 years, and we are all very grateful that she has chosen Millway House to continue her hairdressing journey with us.

The other afternoon was all about crafty bugs, and what fun we had! Imaginations ran wild as we mixed and matched different bodies, wiggly legs, and all sorts of silly heads to create our very own one-of-a-kind bugs. No two were the same, and each one had its own personality!

So if you happen to pop in, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for our brand-new little bug friends. They might look a bit unusual, but don’t worry — they’re all very friendly and love showing off their colourful creations!

It may be cold and very snowy here at Millway House, but how beautiful our gardens look even in winter. We are very lucky at Millway to have such lovely grounds, which our residents can enjoy throughout the year. From garden parties and games on the patio to gentle walks or a little quiet time in the sensory garden, there is something for everyone.

We also have a lovely summer house where families can celebrate birthdays, special occasions, or simply enjoy a takeaway together. So next time you are at Millway, take a little walk around the gardens — the wildlife is amazing, with rabbits, pheasants, deer, partridges, and the occasional fox running by.

What better way to keep warm than with a little exercise led by Faye from G4 Fitness? Faye knows exactly how to get everyone moving, using lots of games and fun activities that make each session enjoyable and inclusive for all.

G4 Fitness is a regular at Millway House every other week, and Faye truly understands the importance of keeping everyone moving. Her sessions focus on evidence-based, balance-focused exercises that have been shown to be effective in falls prevention. These activities gently challenge balance by reducing the base of support as confidence improves — a little wobbling is all part of the process!

Safety is always a priority, and we recommend having something sturdy nearby to steady yourself if needed.

Thank you, Faye, as always, for a fantastic session. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

A very Happy New Year to all our friends and family! 🎉
We hope that 2026 brings you lots of happiness, good health, and plenty of reasons to smile.

Last night we welcomed the New Year in true Millway House style with our New Year’s Eve quiz, and what a fantastic evening it was! There was lots of laughter, friendly competition, and a few little tipples to help us see the New Year in properly. 🍾🥂

Two teams battled it out — The Gins and The Tonics — and after some very close rounds and a final count-up, it was officially declared that The Gins had taken the victory! A big well done to them all, and thank you to everyone who took part and made the evening such good fun.

We hope everyone had a truly fabulous New Year’s celebration, wherever and however you spent it. Thank you all so much for your continued support, kindness, and friendship at Millway House — we’re looking forward to sharing many more happy moments together throughout the year ahead.

Here’s to a wonderful 2026 for us all! ✨🥳

We had a wonderful Christmas here at Millway, and a very special guest came along to make the day extra magical — Santa and his two elves! 🎅🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️

Santa was very pleased to meet all our lovely residents, just as they were delighted to meet him. As Santa was very new to his role (having only started on the 24th of December!), he needed a little help with his lines and the order of present-giving. This led to a few funny moments! Thankfully, his elves were close by to help him along. Santa did know all about the mince pies and chocolates left out for him though, so he clearly had the most important details covered!

It was a lovely way to start Christmas morning, followed by a delicious Christmas lunch. We were also joined by some families who came in to share lunch with their loved ones, which made the day even more special.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this Christmas so memorable for us all. Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all our friends and family.

With love from us all at Millway House xx 🎄❤️

We had a very special delivery this week from Farleigh School. Our pen pals have sent us their Christmas cards, and they have brought so many smiles to Millway.

Millway has built up a truly special bond with Farleigh. Alongside watching plays and enjoying games of football and cricket, we are always delighted to receive these lovely cards from the children. Our residents love reading them — some include funny jokes, while others share photos or drawings of their pets.

It is always such a joy when we visit Farleigh in the summer and spend a wonderful afternoon together, giving our residents the chance to meet their pen pals face to face. Two generations coming together with so much to share is something truly special.

We are so grateful to Farleigh for making this meaningful connection possible, and we would like to wish all the children and teachers a very wonderful Christmas.

The amazing Amanda came to visit us this week to sing some much-loved Christmas classics, and she truly brought the festive spirit with her! From the very first song, the room was filled with smiles, laughter, and lots of Christmas cheer. Tambourines were shaking, maracas were rattling, and everyone joined in enthusiastically, singing along to every song.

It has been a truly fabulous and joyful week here at Millway, with so many wonderful singers and choirs helping us celebrate the season. Amanda added something extra special, filling the room with music, warmth, and festive fun. What a lovely way to get everyone into the Christmas spirit!

Yesterday we enjoyed some festive crafting and created some beautiful gonks, which are now hanging on our tree in the reception area.

Gonks are modern festive figures that blend old Scandinavian folklore with 1960s UK toy trends. They evolved from nisse or tomte—mythical household spirits believed to guard farms and bring good luck when treated with respect (often rewarded with a bowl of porridge!)—into the popular plush Christmas decorations we know today.

With their long beards and tall hats, gonks have become a much-loved symbol of cozy winter magic. So next time you’re here, be sure to say hello to them… they might just bring you a little good luck ✨

What a truly fun and memorable Friday we had! We all headed off to Wi******er University to sing with the wonderful Memory Choir, and from the moment we arrived there was a real buzz in the air. The students were amazing and joined in with such enthusiasm, ringing bells and playing kazoos, which added so much joy and laughter to the afternoon.

The atmosphere was absolutely fabulous — full of smiles, music, and Christmas cheer. Before we knew it, we were singing our hearts out and even dancing in the auditorium . It felt impossible not to join in, and the room was filled with happiness, energy, and togetherness.

After all that excitement, we were treated to a delicious afternoon tea kindly put on by the university. We were very well looked after and completely spoilt, enjoying tasty treats, warm drinks, and plenty of chat and laughter. By the time we left, we were full — not just of cake, but of festive spirit, wonderful memories, and a real sense of joy that stayed with us long after the day ended.

We had a truly fantastic coffee afternoon with our veterans yesterday, and it was wonderful to see so many people come together in such a relaxed and friendly setting. We were delighted to welcome serving soldiers, veterans from the Breakfast Club in Andover, as well as the Deputy Mayor and his wife, who is also the Test Valley Veterans’ Champion.

The afternoon was filled with conversation and laughter as everyone shared memories and reminisced about the places they had been and the training they completed during their time in the military. Many also spoke fondly about travelling with loved ones while on postings, recalling both the challenges and the special moments that came with military life.

We all enjoyed a lovely selection of delicious cakes and mince pies, which added to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. A particularly special moment came when one of our veterans realised he had served in the same regiment as a member of the Breakfast Club. This led to a great conversation as they exchanged stories about shared locations, experiences, and people they both knew, highlighting the strong connections and camaraderie that continue long after service has ended.

We are all very much looking forward to the next get-together in January, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along and helped make this such a special and memorable afternoon.
