We have had a local artist doing window murals in 8 of our resident's rooms.

"I’m a multimedia artist who’s going to be studying Set Design at university. I love to see how art can change the way spaces feel and have been exploring window painting as a way to bring out a playful atmosphere. It’s been lovely to see how this has impacted the residents and it would be really interesting to expand on this style, working on bigger pieces in the future."

It's been such a wonderful process working with Samson, he provided his portfolio for me to show to the residents to gauge interest and for them to choose their favourite images. We then spent an hour in each persons room for him to paint it on to the window. They all really enjoyed talking to him and watching the mesmerising process. Check out the results, the residents are loving looking at them everyday. Thanks Samson!!

Wonderful beaded spiral dreamcatchers made by our residents this week, and we worked on more beaded pens that went down well at our last resident's craft stall sale. Marjorie single handedly made 10 today! John worked on mosaic coasters and we are getting a good amount of bracelets too.

From birds to gardening to guitars this week, hanging bird boxes on John's window after his daughter Tracy suggested he'd like it, we discovered it comes with birds to spot and he told me about a competition he'd done as a child spotting birds in Bath.

He helped watering our garden, folding napkins and making a birthday balloon display for our resident Nanny Pat. Then in the afternoon we had the Guitar group from the university of the 3rd age come and perform for us, huge thanks to them.

Sleep is as important for our health as our diets and exercise, yet we often cut it short.

Follow these 5 tips to get the most out of it:
1. Whilst the length of sleep is important (aim for 7-9 hrs a night) but quality of sleep is important too. Improve sleep quality by removing distractions from your bedroom, avoiding caffeine late in the day.
2. Sleep consistency is important - going to bed and waking up at the same time each day (even on weekends or kids’ holidays) can improve how restorative your sleep is. Keep lie-ins less than 1 hour.
3. Stop snoozing! Each time you fall back to sleep, you initiate a new sleep cycle which takes 90 mins to complete, so breaking it by another alarm 10 mins later is added stress on your body
4. Keep your bedroom cool - your body needs to drop its temperature to initiate and maintain sleep
5. Screen time before bed has similar effects to drinking coffee on the brain. Avoid screens and blue light in the hour before sleep.

This year I’ve partnered with Bupa to bring you evidence based health information, that you can trust - for more sleep tips, check out Bupa’s website and the Bupa Health YouTube channel!
