with thanks to Aerospace Bristol for a magical trip to see all the planes, satellites and missiles they take care of! Residents were fascinated by the history of air travel, and awestruck by the main event, the magnificent Concorde!

A selection of colour photographs taken on film by residents on our recent trip to Cathedral ! We shared some Black and White photos earlier this week, and here are some from a roll of Kodak Pro Image colour film we also had with us. As we said before, it's really fantastic to see residents creating art in a way they don't often have the chance to, especially when the results are as good as this!

A selection of Black and White photos, taken on a vintage film camera by residents at a recent trip to Gloucester Cathedral ! Activity Co-Ordinator Matt is a keen hobbyist film photographer, and brought a couple of cameras for residents to use.
Residents very much enjoyed the tactile nature of the cameras, and reminisced about the cameras they used to own and the joy of receiving physical photos back from the picture shop.

Matt says 'It was great to see residents taking an active interest in my old cameras, and finding things they were interested in photographing around the cathedral. It adds a new dimension to a trip out when you have a camera and a roll of film with you, as residents were looking with a different perspective at things and thinking about what would make a good photograph. I think they've done a brilliant job, some of these photos came out really very well and I'm thrilled to be able to show them the art they created'

Spring has Sprung! Our spring bulbs are looking fantastic in the sunshine today, and we're looking forward to getting out and gardening again after the cold and wet of winter.

to our beautiful St Davids Day Event featuring folk trio Esgair! Welsh residents were delighted to listen to a concert in their native language and translated the song lyrics for the other residents. We told stories of the life of St David and enjoyed a glorious Welsh feast courtesy of our chef team!

We have been talking to residents about hopes and wishes for this year, and have had some lovely conversations around hopes for good health, kindness in the world, peace, love. more snacks and good looking men!
We finished this piece of work with a lovely ceremony where everyone wrote their wish or hope on a beautiful (and animal friendly!) sky lantern which we then launched, symbolising releasing these wishes to the universe...
