✨ Rosie’s Me to Moment – A Day to Remember ✨�📍 Majesticare Milton Ernest Care Home
Today we enjoyed a truly special Me to Moment celebrating Rosie’s remarkable career at Bedford’s PE College on Lansdown Road 💙
Our day began with a relaxed and indulgent morning at The Higgins Pantry café and restaurant. Rosie savoured tea, coffee and an Americano, along with some delicious treats – Italian lemon drizzle cake, tiramisu cheesecake and an almond brownie. Rosie declared the cakes were “nicely baked” 😋☕🍰
We then explored the exhibition, ‘Stanny’s Stus’ A Glimpse into Women’s Sporting and Social History. Rosie fondly reminisced about her three years at the PE College in the 1950s. She recalled lessons on the tennis courts, gymnastics sessions, and running out to the field near the railway near Beverley Crescent.
Rosie shared wonderful memories of college life, we looked at the dramatic fire drills at Lansdown Road – escaping through windows using ropes! She also remembered that if students forgot their PE kit, they were promptly sent to lost property, and spoke of Miss Alexander, the Principal of the college at the time.
Rosie reflected warmly on her career, saying she truly enjoyed her job, with tennis being her favourite sport to teach 🎾
It was a joy to see Rosie engage with the exhibition and extraordinary photographs, bringing her history to life once more. Rosie said she thoroughly enjoyed the experience and loved revisiting the past.
💖 A beautiful day filled with memories, conversation, and celebration.
