Today, we had a truly wonderful and subdued happy hour for our amazing seniors! It was a smaller gathering, but absolutely brimming with joy and connection.

Today, with some assistance from our work experience friends from
Ruskin Glasshouse College, we made boozy chocolate truffles!
Using up left over sloes from our gin, it was a delicious afternoon!

It’s National Winnie the Pooh Day!
We had a lovely chat about Pooh, A A Milne’s poems and more including the current theories about the characters of the book.

Thank you to Mrs S for bringing along such a beautiful copy of one of the books.

Our lovely resident ambassador Mrs D after reading to us went on to read for a resident who wasn’t up to joining the group.

I think Pooh would approve
‘It isn’t much fun for One, but Two
Can stick together…’

Happy Hour Happiness!

Mr C was on fire this evening! So wonderful to hear him singing and he’s still got the moves.

The power of music and socialising captured in song!

Thanks for making our day sir!

Happy weekend all x
