We have had a lovely week enjoying some delicious food together!

Highlights included a summertime barbecue in the sunshine, along with a wonderful bus trip to Hassop Station for lunch and ice cream.

Plenty of smiles, good company, and sunny moments all round.

What a wonderful May we are having so far...
The weather has been kind enough, on occasion, for some of our residents to enjoy a walk outdoors and stop to smell the flowers.

This afternoon, our residents also had a go at Maypole dancing. A lovely afternoon filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of ribbon-tangling along the way!
