It’s a hard life being an Activities Coordinator… and part-time food taster 😂

Our lovely cook brought me a slice of her freshly baked ginger cake to try this week. Still warm from the oven too 😋🍰

A great turnout for seated exercise with Jody this morning ☺️

Jody joins us twice a week, helping our residents stay fit, active and mobile with exercises tailored to their abilities.

It’s a lovely way to keep moving, and there’s always time for a chat and a laugh along the way!

Here are just a few snaps of what they got up to this morning! 📸😊

Off the Boats – An Afternoon on the Waterways ⚓️

This afternoon, as part of our visiting speakers programme, we were delighted to welcome Elizabeth Holloway to Springwood House.

Elizabeth shared her fascinating story of swapping life in a Peak District cottage for a narrowboat, spending several years exploring England’s beautiful canals and inland waterways.

Her talk, ‘Off the Boats’, was full of interesting stories, adventures and amusing anecdotes from her years afloat.

A lovely afternoon spent discovering a very different way of life!

A big thank you to Elizabeth for joining us and sharing her experiences ❤️

Elizabeth is now taking bookings for 2027! If you’re looking for an entertaining and engaging guest speaker for your group or organisation, we would happily recommend her.

Books that changed our lives 📚❤️

With The Book That Changed My Life airing on BBC Two tonight at 9pm, we spent this morning reminiscing about the books that have stayed with us over the years.

From Little Women and Wuthering Heights to Anne of Green Gables, our residents shared some lovely memories of the stories that sparked their love of reading.

We even discovered that Pat’s passion for books began with secretly reading her mum’s romance novels 😂

It was lovely to hear how certain books can stay with us for a lifetime.

📖 What book has had the biggest influence on your life? We’d love to hear your choices ❤️

It’s Roast Dinner Day at Springwood 😍😋

And today’s star of the show? Our rosemary roast potatoes 🥔🌿 Golden, crispy and quite possibly the BEST roasties we’ve ever tasted!

A big thank you to our wonderful cook for keeping us so well fed ❤️

Something delicious is happening in the Springwood kitchen this morning 👩‍🍳🍰

With today seeing the start of National Baking Week, our kitchen is busy whipping up some tasty homemade treats 😋

The question is - what’s your favourite traditional pudding?

Today we tried our hand at making pom-poms for our autumnal display 🙈🧶

Let’s just say there was so much laughter that people were wondering what on earth we were up to 😂

We’re not quite experts yet, but we certainly had fun trying. A little more practice might be needed before we show off our finished creations 🫣🧶🍁

THE SONGS THAT CARRIED US THROUGH ❤️🎵

Yesterday was World Mental Health Day, and here at Springwood, we decided to celebrate something that can have such a positive effect on our wellbeing — music 🎶

We asked six of our residents a simple question:

“What song can always cheer you up?”

And what a wonderful variety of answers we received!

From Elvis Presley and Bette Midler to Handel, The Sound of Music and even The Dambusters March (thank you, Les! 😂), everyone had their own special choice.

Some songs bring back memories of younger days, others are favourites to sing along to, and some simply make us smile.

And then there’s Joyce, whose love of singing All Things Bright and Beautiful makes the rest of us happy, too ❤️

It was lovely hearing everyone’s choices and finding out what makes these songs special to them.

So, turn up the volume and enjoy six residents sharing six songs that make them happy 🎶

Now we’d love to hear yours! What’s the one song that never fails to lift your spirits? ❤️

Joyce fancied a spot of colouring and was keen to show us how she was getting on 🦋🎨Looking lovely, Joyce ❤️

How has it been a whole month since our very first Scrabble Club?! 😳

Yet here we are in October, back around the boards for round two and - just like last time - it was a real hit! Plenty of concentration, a little friendly competition, lots of chat… and, naturally, tea and treats to keep everyone going ☕️🍪

We absolutely love seeing this becoming a regular date in the Springwood calendar and we’re already looking forward to November’s Scrabble Club 💚
