Tea Dance
Donna organised a tea dance and Kitty Collins came to sing and did a wonderful tribute to the 40's and 50's . Gwyneth could remember dancing at the Hammersmith Palais near the end of the war. Pearl did a beautiful spread of sandwiches and scones and buns.

A busy Monday
We had Anna doing her aromatherapy in the morning and Magda's daughter Tessa reading stories, and then in the afternoon John Harris on the piano. He has an amazing repertoire and when it started pouring with rain we chose songs that had a theme of rain. Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head was an obvious choice and then Somewhere over the Rainbow was a beautiful one to sing along to.

Happy Birthday Magda
Magda really likes classical music and is always asking visiting musicians to play some Chopin, invariably without success. Donna found classical pianist Barry Bryant to come and play and Norman, who knows a thing or two about playing the piano, gave him ten out of ten. He could also play good old fashioned sing-a-longs too so we had the best of both worlds. Magda's daughter Kasia and her grandson and son in law came over from France and brought some wine with them which helped get the party started.

All Aboard the Train
We were in good time for the 11.15 from Holt to Sheringham. The weather was a bit on the cool side so instead of getting out for our picnic we had a cup of tea and a sausage roll on the way and sandwiches and cake on the way back. (A big thank you to Pearl and Anabella for the picnic.) This was Ian's day as he loves trains, and he and a few others got out at Sheringham station for a good look round. The rest of us stayed on board for the return trip.

Chat club does dressing up
Whenever Donna digs out her vintage clothing theres always lots of laughs to be had. Not sure whether dead foxes around your neck would be acceptable these days but they were quite the fashion once. Renee could remember going to bed with her curlers in which was very uncomfortable.
