A chilly 🥶 but enjoyable day we had today at Carsington Water 💧 having a walk, picnic lunch, spin on the roundabout and a cuppa to warm us up, at least the rain ☔️ stayed away whilst we were out.

Can’t beat a bit of baking, today we made raspberry buns ready to have with our cuppa later, if only you could smell them we can’t wait to tuck in. We really love baking here, trying new and really old recipes, and our residents favourite cakes and recipes.

Doing a throwing and catching game with our Dementia Question Ball, then reading the question out loud and give us an answer from memory. This a great way of remembering things from earlier years, getting to learn things about each other.

Movement, coordination, balance and fun was the guarantee for this activity. Trying to balance a ball on the parachute and get it in the middle section. Great game and everyone really enjoyed it.
