🎶 Another lovely outing from Langdon House!
Today we visited our local church — St Andrew's in Chesterton — for one of their wonderful free lunchtime concerts.
This week we enjoyed a beautiful piano and cello performance 🎹🎻

Our residents, staff and family members all had a fantastic time. We feel so lucky to have this right on our doorstep and will definitely be continuing these visits! 💛🏡

From Royal Marine to Green Fingers 🌿

We’re so lucky to have so many wonderful people at Langdon House, and one of them is Michael, our amazing gardener who joined us earlier this year.

Michael served 18 years in the Royal Marines and turned to gardening as a form of therapy.

Since joining Langdon House, Michael’s kindness, positivity, and green fingers have transformed our gardens and our days. He even rescued a tiny one-legged robin who now happily lives in the garden shed under his care. 🪶❤️

Michael’s story is one of hope, healing, and the power of nature—and we couldn’t be prouder to have him as part of our Langdon House family. 🌸

At Langdon House, we’re lucky to have wonderful people who make our home such a special place, including Michael, our dedicated gardener.

🧶 Knitting & Nattering at Langdon House ☕️

Sometimes it’s not the big, flashy events that make our home so special — it’s the little moments shared together. 💬💜💜
