✨️🥳🎂 After a beauty of a storm this morning, the skies cleared and the sun returned ready for us to celebrate our May birthdays!! 🎂 🥳 and after we had feasted at the BBQ, we were very pleased to have Steven performing for us in his Denby debut.... Hopefully not his last because he was brilliant!!
Everyone had such a great time, lots of laughter, plenty of dancing, and a few summer cocktails were sunk and a we managed to squeeze in a game or two of higher or lower. Another great day and a party to remember!! Thank you everyone for your continued help in making these things happpen!! 🎂🥳✨️

Yesterday we tried our 1st Yoga session with our fabulous Yoga instructor Penny.
We were a little unsure at first but soon got into it and are looking forward to our next session.

Massive thank you to all our staff who worked over this lovely but hot and sweaty bank holiday weekend and today.
What ever the temperature is outside that thermometer 🌡 is a lot higher in the care home.
You kept going and looked out for each other as much as the residents.

✨️🌿 Doreen doesn't shy away from hardwork, even at 102 we can't keep her out of the garden and we wouldn't want to!
She worked at a plant nursery for many years and still helps out at her daughter's garden centre when she is over that way!
If you don't use it you lose it they told her and she has heeded that advice.
Thank you for all the help Doreen, the veg patch is now nicely turned over and ready for seeds in the next few weeks.
also our forget me knot seeds (kindly donated by resident Rosalie's daughter earlier today) have been put in a large pot to germinate (as advised by Doreen) before going in to their forever home patches when they are ready. It's a busy time of year for the green fingered!! 🌿✨️

✨️ Today at The Denby Care Home we celebrated "Lucky Penny Day" and asked the the question "are you superstitious?"
We were amazed at how old some of our well known suspicions are and where their roots lay. The discussion went on to look at the royal family and their highly superstitious ways, leading then to "the Royal touch" and finally looking at the placebo effect. We finished with discussing the power of the mind.
What a great session this was, interesting, extremely thought provoking and conversation arousing.
Thank you ladies and gents, we'll be looking forward to the next discussion group!! ✨️
