Gwendolin's Birthday

It was Gwendolin's birthday but she really wasn't in the mood for any fuss so she sat quietly in the cottage lounge with Jack and Rose. She could hear us singing Happy Birthday in the distance though. Michael and Helen came to entertain and did their usual professional job of lots of old favourites that we could sing and dance along to.

Mick's Birthday

Kenny Jobz, alias Black Stetson, came to play for Mick's birthday. As you can probably guess from the name, he plays Country and Western. Heather (movement to music) had left us her plastic stetsons to help us get in the mood. They are fun but very hot.

Happy Birthday Mick!

Movement To Music

Thursdays come around so quickly it seems only yesterday that we had Movement to music with Heather. Apart from the usual musical activities Heather got out some bats, balls and shuttlecocks. The sand dance was performed by Donna....

Friday Club

This week Jo brought some maps along so we could see where everyone had lived, worked and travelled. We started off with the World map and then we got down to Europe, then England, then Norfolk, all the way to Fakenham town. We wondered how local places like the Snorings and Kettlestone got their names.
