A lovely little outing this morning ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

We popped to The Range to pick up decorations for our Easter bonnets and everyone enjoyed choosing their own bits and pieces for their hats. There were lots of fluffy chicks ๐Ÿฅ, bright flowers ๐ŸŒธ, ribbons ๐ŸŽ€ and colourful decorations going into the baskets ready for crafting. ๐ŸŽฉ

Some residents even spotted a few Easter treats and picked up little gifts for their grandchildren ๐Ÿฃ

Before heading back we stopped for a coffee and a toasted hot cross bun with butter โ˜•๐Ÿงˆ

Weโ€™re now all set to bring a little bit of spring into the home with our Easter creations! ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿฃ

Snowdon Update! ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

The girls made it to the summit of Snowdon! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿฅพ 32000 steps and a 3199FT Ascent ๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Setting off in the middle of the night and climbing in freezing conditions, they pushed themselves every step of the way all all in aid of our residentsโ€™ comfort fund. Their determination, early mornings, and months of training have truly paid off.

We couldnโ€™t be prouder of you all. What an incredible achievement for such a meaningful cause. ๐Ÿ’œ

Still time to donate ๐Ÿ’• Every Donation is entered into our Easter Hamper - Will be drawn 30th March
