The month of August has been a busy one for the residents which started with a visit from Flash the miniature Shetland therapy pony. Residents got a lot of joy stroking him and asked Mollie lots of questions. Marion came to entertain the residents with the monthly musical moments in which the residents sang, did some chair exercise and played musical instruments throughout the afternoon. Tin can alley and crazy golf were played with lots of concentration from the residents. We had a Turkish afternoon and had none other than Turkish delight! The lovely Soroptimist ladies came and made some very pretty tissue flowers with the residents to put in their rooms. Plenty of birthdays to celebrate so lots of homemade cakes and buns were made for the residents to enjoy. The residents had some lovely afternoons with vocalist Andy Wiseman and sax player Neil Wilkinson. The mobile ice cream parlour has been doing its rounds with plenty of chocolate ices, ice lollies, cornetoes, and ice cream cones, the residents tucked into them on the hot sunny days with delight!
