Here I am again!

An update on Activities enjoyed during May.

Physical Activities included Target Toss, 10 Pin Bowing, Hoopla, Croquet, Strike a Goal, to name a few.  ‘Mind Bender’ Activities are always very popular and in May the old ‘grey matter’ was working hard answering questions about Occupation, Matched Sets and Affinities and Holiday Vacation Spots (I must admit that in organising these various ‘Mind Benders’ I’ve learnt more than I did in my earlier years... finding it much more interesting!). The ladies and gentlemen never cease to surprise me with their knowledge. The lovely staff and I are lucky as we have the answers!

We had a visit from Rita and Peter and our lovely Brian.  We celebrated John Wayne’s Birthday and the Spanish Armada Day.  On these ‘Theme’ Days we try to include a special menu linked to the Country or event.  We are learning that some dishes go down better than others! An alternative menu is always available.

We kicked off June with exercises from our chairs.  Italian National Day and Ring Throwing.  We have 2 birthdays coming up this month.

I hope to bring some dancers over to the Manor on Sunday 5th July to display some Country and Maypole Dancing for Valerie Manor ‘Family Day’ (weather permitting!). Cream Teas are on the menu!

Bye for now
