Today we had a visit to Wymondham Abbey.
Such a beautiful place.
One of our residents used to provide tours there, so it was lovely to hear all about the building from a professional.

Reminiscing about old times 🤔
At on

Arthur recalls that his wages in 1953 of just 4 shillings when he was just 15 was equivalent to approximately 20p 👀
And Lud from recalling his wages paid for his board and lodgings with "an odd shilling left over for treats" 🍺

Whilst Gerry explained how he worked with the Ghurkers in Cyprus to help him guard the aircraft 🇨🇾

But the shocker was Arthur seeing Ozzy Ozbourne in Birmingham before anyone knew who Black Sabbath were 🖤
A wonderful morning of memories 😊

This Saturday was Thorp House Summer Fete!

In the morning, we were visited by Mini Monsters, who brought with them things that crawled and wriggled and animals that were spikey and smooth.

A great time was had by the residents who really enjoyed seeing all the different creatures.

Ice cream and sunshine were the order of the day.

Our residents had a trip to Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds.

Such a beautiful place to spend time with family and friends.
A big thank you to our volunteers; without them, day trips may not be possible.
