Here at Pebble Mill we have quite a few residents who have a passion for Art. So we have launched Pebblers paint which will take place once a week.
This week we have been working on our autumn community art. Something for everyone to enjoy and participate in. Whilst some chose to do the community art others enjoyed aqua painting.
Everybody is included here at Pebble Mill . The laughter that fills the room just goes to show how much fun we all have.

What better way to spend a cold wet Autumn morning then by doing a jigsaw listening to classical music amongst friends with a nice cup of tea. We had some giggles along the way. One resident said how nice it was to do something so relaxing and she wishes to do it more regularly.
Its a work in progress will post the finished piece when we are done. That's the beauty of a jigsaw hasn't got to be done in one day we can keep going back.

Sleep is as important for our health as our diets and exercise, yet we often cut it short.

Follow these 5 tips to get the most out of it:
1. Whilst the length of sleep is important (aim for 7-9 hrs a night) but quality of sleep is important too. Improve sleep quality by removing distractions from your bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day.
2. Sleep consistency is important - going to bed and waking up at the same time each day (even on weekends or kids’ holidays) can improve how restorative your sleep is. Keep lie-ins less than 1 hour.
3. Stop snoozing! Each time you fall back to sleep, you initiate a new sleep cycle which takes 90 mins to complete, so breaking it by another alarm 10 mins later is added stress on your body
4. Keep your bedroom cool - your body needs to drop its temperature to initiate and maintain sleep
5. Screen time before bed has similar effects to drinking coffee on the brain. Avoid screens and blue light in the hour before sleep.

This year I’ve partnered with Bupa to bring you evidence based health information, that you can trust - for more sleep tips, check out Bupa’s website and the Bupa Health YouTube channel!

Today at Pebble Mill we have enjoyed Marios Kitchen. This is always a big hit with residents and loved ones learning new recipes and trying new foods. Today residents have participated in making Chlodnik-polish beetroot soup and Gazpacho- a cold Spanish soup enjoyed on hot days. Residents have asked for this to be added to the evening meal as it was enjoyed so much.

Group exercise is not only fun, but also helps us stay alert, fit and reduces falls and usually there is also some singing to the music too.
