The Oakleigh House Recipe Book is the new brain child of our lovely Claire and we want YOU involved.

Do you have a recipe or recipes you’d like to include?
Something easy to make, tasty and comforting, healthy, sweet, things you like to have when you’re here or your go to when you’re at home. Things that make you feel better, happy, that remind you of a loved one.

Claire will be putting them together into a book or recipe card style for guests to use at the house.

Right now we are at the development stages and we’d love to hear from you about your favourite recipes.

Message us with your favourites, whether you can include the recipe or not that’s ok too as we can always find one for something you like or remember.

So pop a message here or on our Facebook and we will pick them up.

Incredible group effort for last nights Roast Dinner! All cooked by our guests working together. Creating community, inclusion and very full tummies.

Thanks ladies, it was absolutely delicious and for most of us beats cooking for one which we do most of the time.

If you fancy anything while you stay here, you can generally team up with other guests or us staff and we can generally cobble something together!

Next up are the cakes they’ve been baking and our breakfast this morning and that doesn’t even cover the take aways that have been had this week 😅🥵😋

So you know I said let’s do the doggy portraits end of August, well I appreciate it’s been super hot and maybe not ideal weather or the time of year for really getting your teeth into this project, speaking for myself mostly here 😅 and when at work you guys are always our top priority so crafting has to take a back seat.

BUT, drum roll please! I’m back and starting another potential contender for Lady Helga’s Portrait using our needle felting stash. I have since taken her nose off (sorry Helga) as it’s just not quite right, what do you think?

For those of you who showed an interest in joining this project and doing a portrait of one of our therapy dogs I’d love to check in with you and see how yours is going.

We’ve abolished the summer deadline, whooo! So we can do them over autumn, which feels a much better crafty time of year to focus on them.

Pop me a message on our pages to let me know that your doing one and who your doing.

Big Love, Lady Helga’s mum 🥰

Proper holiday activities were had by us all over the last two weeks.

The boss bossed the Lego and finished her X Files Mulder & Scully set!

What have you been up to while we’ve been away?

Our doors are officially back open again with the start of a new week so normal service has been resumed so you can phone in and we will be there. If you’ve emailed or left messages they will take a little longer to get through.

Looking forward to seeing you again soon,

As a lot of you will know already we take 2 weeks off in August as a group time of annual leave. But for those of you who are new here, this also means the phones and emails won’t be manned or responded too until the 17th August.

Please in the mean time, if you’re struggling, contact your other support providers and that we look forward to seeing you and speaking to you upon our return.

Wishing you all a lovely August and a nice relax and rejuvenation to our staff.

Lots of Love,

Cooking with the World Cup! Only just thought of this 😅

I love a stew (even when it’s hot, I know I’m mad)

And with some sausages to use up I went for a classic peasant style stew which you could take either way.

Using a lovely sausage casserole mix you could add some smoked paprika for a Spanish feel or go more herby for French. What ever way it’s a quick, nutritious way to get some protein packed yumminess in your belly that doesn’t take much prep or cook time.

The whole house was asking what I was cooking.

If you’d like to cook with us during your stay just let us know! We are cooking a little project along these lines and how we can help make cooking simple and tasty meals while you stay here. So watch out for more of those updates.

For now, let’s get back to the game!

Big thanks to one of our lovely guests who bought us this fabulous new bench for everyone to enjoy. Claire and Pieta diligently put this together and we’ve all been enjoying the space. The flowers are in full bloom and the birds are singing all day long bless them!

We’re working on creating a “Wish List” for people to contribute to and collaborate with us on as we know we have such amazing supporters, so watch this space for that release.

Thanks again to our lovely guests for this beautiful bench!

Healthy and hearty omelettes were the order of today, cooked up by Sophie for the guests. We had a sprinkling of cheese and diced “nice” ham. Great way to get some protein, healthy fats and essential vitamins in first thing!

What’s your go to healthy hearty breakfast?
