Another Great Visit from the Dogs Trust!

We had another fantastic visit from the Dogs Trust at Newton Tony! This time, Justine brought along the beautiful Naomi.

They’re such a happy, friendly team and would love anyone to come and visit the centre to see their fantastic facilities — and, of course, to meet all the waggy tails of their lovely doggy guests! 🐶💛

The Salisbury centre can care for up to 80 dogs in 49 kennels, ensuring each resident gets plenty of enrichment in their on-site training barn. They even have their own on-site vet suite to keep every pup healthy and happy.

In 2024, they helped 421 dogs find their forever homes — an incredible achievement!

We wanted not only to enjoy a visit from them but also to help in some way. Through the kind donations of wool, we’ve been knitting for the dogs, and together we’ve made some beautiful patchwork blankets to keep all the doggies that come into the rehoming centre safe and warm. It’s been a wonderful way to come together for a great project — and to support a very well-deserved cause. 🧶🐾

Cuddley Cavies Visit Millway

Cuddley Cavies came to visit us here at Millway! The residents really enjoy all our animal visits, as animal therapy is so important. We had a couple of younger guinea pigs who are just learning the ropes — they were a little more restless than the others, but they did very well.

Cuddley Cavies is a regular visitor here at Millway, and Hannah does a wonderful job looking after them all. We all look forward to her next visit! 🐹💛

We recently enjoyed a wonderful visit to the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke. It was truly remarkable to stroll back through the 1930s, 1940s and beyond, wandering along cobbled streets and stepping inside old schoolrooms. The sweet shop was open too, so we were able to buy some treats with our ration books – a lovely taste of the past!

All around us were shops and local businesses from years gone by, giving us a real glimpse into what life in Hampshire was like back then. We admired horse-drawn carriages, trams, and even made a stop at the station. A wander down to the pier brought smiles all round, with amusements, games, and the much-loved wobbly mirrors that gave us plenty of laughs.

There was so much history to enjoy in one place, and it’s certainly somewhere Millway will be returning to next year. Of course, no visit would be complete without a stop at the shop and café – where we treated ourselves to a well-deserved slice of cake and a comforting cup of tea.

Now that the weather has cooled, there’s a gentle autumn feel in the air. The leaves outside are turning into a tapestry of golds, reds, and deep oranges, and it seemed the perfect time to capture some of that seasonal beauty indoors.

Our autumn crafts session gave everyone the chance to celebrate those wonderful colours and bring them to life in our own creative way. With each leaf, branch, and shade of colour, we were reminded of just how special this season is. It felt as though we had gathered a little piece of the autumn trees and carried them inside for us all to share, admire, and enjoy together.

We held a small cake sale here at Millway House on Thursday in support of Macmillan. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a real difference to those living with cancer.

We had our final visit of the year to Wallop Air Museum recently. As it’s such a local museum, it’s a place we all enjoy, and with our annual pass we’re able to bring many of the residents along for regular visits.

One of our residents had a wonderful time assembling a jet engine, and the excitement was clear when it started up once completed! After exploring the displays, we also visited the 1940s house. One of our ladies was especially delighted to see a motorbike there, as it’s a great passion of hers.

It was yet another lovely afternoon enjoyed by us all.

🎉 Congratulations to Sarah and Jeorgie! 🎉

They successfully completed the final part of the Veteran Friendly Framework.

As many of you know, we gained our accreditation this summer and are now officially recognised as a Veteran Friendly Care Home. One of the key standards we had to meet was completing the NHS course, and Sarah and Jeorgie worked hard to make this happen.

Millway House is extremely proud to hold this recognition, and we are continuing to build strong connections with 26 Engineers and the Veteran Breakfast Club.

💙 Well done team, and thank you for supporting our veteran community!

🌿 The lovely Jack from Digging for Dementia popped by yesterday! 💚
Last time we created our hanging baskets (still looking fabulous 🌸✨) and this time we planted herb pots for our sensory garden 🌱🌿.

There was so much lovely chatter about gardens, allotments, and all the things everyone used to grow 🥕🌼. Such a joy listening to all the wonderful memories 💭💬.

Can’t wait to have Jack back again soon with more beautiful things to plant and grow 🌻💛.

🌸 A Wonderful Afternoon at Farleigh School 🌸

Recently, some of our residents were invited to Farleigh School for a very special afternoon tea. One of our lovely ladies has a great passion for sport, and one of her wishes was to watch a school match being played. The children were fantastic, and we all had such fun cheering them on from the sidelines — there was lots of chatter, laughter, and encouragement throughout.

After the match, we were treated to the most delicious afternoon tea. We were truly spoilt with an array of sandwiches, including smoked salmon, egg mayonnaise, and coronation chicken, followed by freshly baked scones, buttery shortbread, cookies, and the most indulgent chocolate brownies. Every bite was enjoyed, and the smiles around the table said it all!

The kindness didn’t end there — we were also taken on a lovely walk around the school, where we discovered some of its fascinating history. The residents found this particularly interesting, and it made the afternoon feel even more special.

What makes these visits even more meaningful is the wonderful relationship we have built with Farleigh School. Over time, strong connections have grown between the pupils and our residents. We even have a pen pal project that brings so much joy to both generations — it’s heartwarming to see friendships blossom through letters, stories, and shared experiences.

We are already excited for the next time we see the pupils, as they will be visiting us at Christmas for carols, and we hope to join them again to watch their Christmas play. These intergenerational moments are truly precious, and we are so grateful to everyone at Farleigh for making us feel so welcome and for creating such lasting memories.

💛 Thank you, Farleigh School, for a wonderful, memorable afternoon! 💛

🌸 Millway Houses Annual Garden Party 2025 🌸

On Wednesday we held our Annual Garden Party – and what a day it was! 🎉🍰 From delicious sweet treats and cakes to singing, dancing, and plenty of laughter, it was a truly special afternoon for everyone.

We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Test Valley, Cllr Gordon Bailey, and Mayoress Mrs. Karen Hamilton, along with serving soldiers from the 26 Engineers Regiment at Perham Down, the Veterans Breakfast Club, our amazing volunteers, families, and friends. 💂‍♂️💐

The wonderful Amanda filled the marquee with music 🎶, and even though we had the odd downpour 🌧️, the sun seemed to shine brightly inside all day ☀️.

Millway absolutely loves hosting our Garden Party each year—it’s a chance for our whole community to come together, enjoy each other’s company, and make happy memories. 💛

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a fantastic day. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🥰

September marks the start of another school year, and this week many children have gone back to school. It has sparked conversations among residents about their own school days—the things they enjoyed, the games they used to play, and the special friends they made.

Hopscotch was a favourite pastime for many of the ladies, while football and athletics were popular with the boys. We all remember the nerves of the first day back, the clean, crisp uniforms, and the excitement of seeing friends again.

Some of these memories may date back many years, but they remain fresh in our minds. In fact, a few residents still have lifelong friends they first met at school—a true testament to how special those bonds can be.👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓

A Fond Farewell to Holly

Today we celebrated a very special moment as we said a heartfelt “thank you” to our wonderful therapy dog, Holly, who is now retiring at the grand age of 12.

For the past three and a half years, Holly has been a regular visitor to Millway House, brightening our days and making many friends along the way. Her gentle nature and loving presence have brought comfort, joy, and countless smiles to our residents and staff alike.

We also want to thank Sue, Holly’s devoted owner, who has shared Holly with us and given her time and care to our home. While Holly puts her paws up to enjoy a well-deserved retirement, Sue will continue to be part of Millway as a volunteer—supporting our residents, nurturing friendships, and helping new ones blossom.

Excitingly, Sue has also welcomed a new greyhound, Momo, into her life. After some time settling in at home, Momo will hopefully begin her journey as a therapy dog and follow in Holly’s pawprints here at Millway.

From all of us: thank you, Holly, for your years of love and companionship. We look forward to welcoming Momo in the new year.🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐕🐩🦮🐕‍🦺🐩🐕‍🦺🐩
