Eileen's Birthday

Tonally Different came to entertain for Eileen's birthday. They were quite different from our usual entertainers and got us singing along with sea shanties, folk songs and other interesting songs.

Ride Out to the Snowdrops

The weather warmed up just in time for a ride out to see the snowdrops at Walsingham. We had a full bus with Sandy as Conductor and Tim driving. Sandy makes a good tour guide as she knows a lot of local places and gave a running commentary.
We know a spot on a bridge overlooking the  valley where all the snowdrops are which gives a good view from the bus. After Walsingham we went down to Wells and stopped for a short time on the quay to watch the boats, birds and a few people crabbing off the quay. It was a long way down to the water as the tide was out. We came home via Stiffkey and Langham and then back along the main road.

Valentine's Flowers

We were lucky to get Rita to come on Valentine's week as she is a professional florist as well as being a gardener and she has a very busy week. She brought in a beautiful selection of flowers and foliage and little baskets of oasis for everyone to have a go at their own arrangements. These will be on the tables in the dining room.

Friday Club

Jo Baldwin came on Friday for her regular session of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.  After tea or coffee we always start with an orientation exercise, remembering the date, place, season etc and then we have a look at a newspaper and have a chat about the news, before doing some singing and playing a game. It was bingo this week and it got quite competitive and exciting. Derek was the winner.
