Wishing everyone a very happy VE Day as we mark 81 years since Victory in Europe Day. 🇬🇧❤️

Today is a chance to celebrate peace, community and the spirit of togetherness, while remembering the strength and sacrifices of those who lived through the war years. Here’s to sharing stories, singing songs, raising a cup of tea and spending time with the people around us. ✨

A few special visitors made their way here recently. Tolly and Murphy the alpacas🦙 and Max the pony🐴 spent time wandering through, stopping to be gently stroked and hand-fed, happily meeting people and enjoying the attention. Bedrock Alpaca visits

Alongside theRanntastic Toe Tappers brought a different kind of energy, music, rhythm, and movement. Feet tapping, hands moving, bodies joining in as much or as little as each person wanted.

For some, it was the chance to get close to animals again, something familiar and grounding. For others, it was about getting moving, feeling the music, or simply watching it all unfold. 🩷🫶

A belated look back at Easter here ! From the kitchen to the lounge, there was plenty happening, something sweet, a bit of fun, and time spent together.🐣🩷

You might notice some cupcakes without icing, that’s simply down to personal choice. Not everyone enjoys icing, so we made sure there were options for everyone to enjoy in their own way. It’s always about the little things, and making sure everyone feels included.
