🐐 The cuddliest afternoon 🐐

Today we had the pleasure of being visited by Blackwater Alpacas & Pygmy Goats! They brought in 6 of this season's kids, one of them as young as a week old!

We all enjoyed holding and hugging them while we learned about the service and how the pygmy goats lived on the farm before moving on to other homes!

Thank you so much for coming, we hope to see you again soon!

🍪 Decorating biscuits for Space Day ☄️

Here at The Oaks we have been putting more of our time into broadening our baking experiences. So far we have made cupcakes, brownies, cookies, biscuits, and gingerbread!

On this occasion, we decided to decorate some all-butter shortbread with some marbling to make them look like multicoloured planets!

We're looking for more ideas on allergen free options that we can make to share with everyone in the home, do you have any suggestions?

👋 Saying so long to our Scarecrow project 👋

Jericho is off to Great Horkesley for his debut in the Friends of BWW Events Scarecrow Trail!
We've raised him from bits and bobs, recycling, upcycling and using good old trial and error, and he has blossomed into *almost* a member of the home!

Thank you to our deputy, who happily agreed to having his car filled with straw so we could get Jericho to the trail 🥇

We already can't wait to have him back again...

Let us know if you spot him over the next week!

Our Friday afternoon was spent at our local, The Hospital Arms! We befriended a lovely retriever called Barney, and thank you to his family for giving us the treats for some nice photos!

Safe to say we're looking forward to our next visit 😊

🇬🇧 Happy VE Weekend Everyone! 🇬🇧

It's been a busy week for us here at The Oaks! We've been watching the concerts, reminiscing about our experiences during and following the war, and celebrating 80 years of making sure it remains a distant memory!

Today we were overjoyed with a wonderful performance in one of our lovely gardens. Paired with drinks and snacks, and following a hearty themed lunch, what more could we need!

Thank you to everyone that came along to help and to join in!

It's important for us to exercise our brains as well as our bodies, and keeping our minds active contributes to a happier life!
