Once upon a time in a Fakenham care home Heather de Lyon came and did a creative writing course which was very interesting and lots of fun. She brought in lots of pictures of different things and everyone picked out pictures they liked and then used the pictures to make up stories. Lauren (carer) has a hidden talent.

The Lady Gardener and Flower Arranging
Rita our Lady Gardener has been doing a bit of winter decorating but she is also a talented flower arranger. She came to see us just before the anniversary of the Queen's ascension to the throne so she did some royal flower arrangements. The crowning glory was a floral crown but everyone had a chance to do an arrangement.

Where did January Go?
A warm welcome Joan Mansfield who has joined us from a home in Taverham.
Whilst there is rather a lack of photos to show, we have been busy in January. We've been bowling next door again with Lawrence the champion with 2 strikes. Thanks to everyone that came and helped.
Chat clubs included Chinese New Year, with Donna bringing in Chinese snacks and chopstick to eat them with. It's fun to find out which animal people's birth year is. This year is the year of the dragon. (Donna's is a dragon...!)
We're very lucky to have employed Amy who is very qualified and good at activities and Vicky who is also very good, is doing more.
A rather last minute addition for Burn's night was a bag-piper, Richard, who came in and did the business. Gordon particularly enjoyed it of course, but some of the ladies had quite a giggle trying to catch a glimpse up his kilt. Apologies to those who don't enjoy the bagpipes- it seems you either love them or you don't but either way they're hard to ignore! We had haggis for tea for those that wanted it.
We are sorry to report that Betty Holt passed away in hospital on Christmas day.
