Pebble Mills arts and craft session was a great hit with the residents. Residents have spent the afternoon designing and making there own coasters, cards and sun catchers. The room fell silent with everyone concentrating but soon erupted back into laughter and giggles and of course a good old sing along. One resident thought outside the box and decided to give our activity coordinators tattoos a bit more colour which made everyone chuckle.

Pebblers chit chat and chill coffee morning. What a great success. Some of our new residents had the opportunity to meet other residents, building friendships whilst finding out about Pebble Mill and also getting a fellow residents perspective on what it is like to reside here. Questions was asked about our routines and daily life at Pebble Mill and residents got the opportunity to speak about themselves and adventures they have had in there lives. Lovely to see new friendships being made.

Pamper day at pebble mill. Today we have been utilising our beautiful salon here at Pebble Mill for hair and nail treatments. The salon is not only a place to be pampered but a chance to have a catch up with the people we live with. Or if like our lovely husband and wife who came today are new to the home its a chance to meet new people and to make new friendships. For our lovely residents who are nursed in bed we also took the pamper to them. We are lucky enough to have a inflatable hair basin here at pebble mill so people can still enjoy a wash n blow dry without leaving the comfort of there bed.

🎪✨ Festival season is ON — and so is the mission to survive it in one piece. Here’s your ultimate guide to staying healthy while living your best glittery life:

💧 Hydration hacks: Water > warm cider. Add electrolytes, freeze your bottles, and sip between sips.
👟 Protect your feet: Dance hard, but don’t let blisters ruin your vibe. Comfy shoes + plasters = lifesavers.
🍗 Avoid food poisoning: If it smells dodgy, it is dodgy. Trust your gut before it betrays you.
🔒 Safe s*x: Pack protection. Consent is s*xy. So is being prepared.
☀️ Sun damage: SPF is your BFF. Reapply like your skin depends on it (because it does).
🧠 Panic attack plan: Overwhelmed? Step away, breathe deep, text a mate. You’re not alone.
🎧 Protect your hearing: Earplugs = cool. Tinnitus = not.
🚽 Make sure you poo: Festival food + dehydration = constipation nation. Fibre up and don’t hold it in.
💥 Your body is your festival ticket — treat it like VIP.
👉 Tag a mate who needs this checklist and save this post for your packing prep!
