March 2017

March was full of singing, dancing and afternoon teas.  We had a lovely Tea Party for Vera Lynn's Birthday and we sang all her famous songs in the dining room.  Everyone joined in and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. 

Music for Health visited us again - which helped us work off all that cake!  We will see Music for Health again in April.

We have found a new Tea Shop which is located just up the road from us - The Black Lion.  This is great for short trips out for a cup of tea or coffee.

Our residents have been busy making Easter decorations for our Easter Tree located in the Reception.  

Thank you to everyone who have donated Easter Eggs, these will go into our raffle which will be drawn on 17th April 2017.
