What a busy and enjoyable couple of days we’ve had!
Yesterday morning, we were joined by our lovely and dedicated student, Cleo. While we spent time completing a Life Story session, Cleo visited the units and treated residents to relaxing manicures.
At lunchtime, we braved the wind and rain to take Margaret and Doreen to St Paul’s Church Hall for lunch. Doreen was delighted to bump into someone she knew from one of her classes, and they enjoyed a lovely catch up. Both ladies thoroughly enjoyed the outing and said how nice it was to get out and about.
In the afternoon, we gathered on Peel Unit for a lively game of Bingo. With the weather being so gloomy, there was only one thing to shout this week, “bring back the sunshine!”☀️
Today, we continued with some 1:1 sessions before being joined by our student, Macca, later in the morning. Macca treated Val, Olwyn and Doreen to some relaxing facials, which were very much appreciated.
This afternoon was particularly special as Nesta’s daughter visited and brought a beautiful plaque. She lovingly scattered some of Nesta’s ashes beneath her tree, creating a touching and peaceful tribute that looks absolutely beautiful ❤️
We also enjoyed an afternoon art class, where we admired some of Phyllis’s wonderful artwork before trying our own hand at sketching. Everyone agreed that Phyllis has a real talent! While not everyone drew exactly what was on the table, everyone gave it their best effort, and that’s what matters most.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped make these past two days so enjoyable. It’s been wonderful to see so many smiles, conversations, creativity and moments of connection.
