At the Lodge, if you don't feel like dancing...yes you do! Because if the staff don't get you, the rhythm will!! A shimmy a day keeps the sadness away.

What's in the box??? A fun guessing game, made by one of our wellbeing practitioners, the idea is to pop your hand in the box and see if you can guess what the object is by touch alone...but I spy a couple of peeping cheaters. 😆

For our 'musical monday' we made our very own instruments, we had lots of laughs with snapping bands and runaway peas!
We even got to play our instruments when we were finished.

During one of our 'all about me" 1 to 1 sessions, we discovered that Hilda used to be a bell ringer at her local parish church (it's where she met her husband, who was also a bell ringer at the church) Hilda had very fond memories of this time and loved chatting about it. So our Wellbeing team managed to find a set of small bells (like she used to play) As you can see, Hilda was delighted! She wasted no time setting them out and getting going with them.

The rain may have dampened outdoors but it didnt dampen our sports day spirit! We managed to set a few activities up indoors and the competitions went ahead! There were no 2nd or 3rd places though...just 1 winner and that was team Lodge!! And what a team they were.
