Outing to Pensthorpe

Our 3rd outing this month was to Pensthorpe. It was quite hard work with fairly long distances over not the smoothest of paths but it was good to be out in the fresh air enjoying nature. A nice cup of tea was a  reward at the end for the hard work.









Movement to Music with Edith (and Heather)

Heather brought grand-daughter Edith to Movement to Music and she soon took over helping and encouraging everyone to join in. It's been said before,but the Edith's ability to brighten the day is very evident from all the smile she brings out.

Outing to Thursford

There's lots to see and do at Thursford, from old steam engines to fairground rides to an impressive organ being played very well. Another enjoyable day out

Outing to the Broads

This was a wonderful day out and the excitement went on for some days afterwards. Carolina, Rosa and Jane were the lucky crew who did a great job of making it such a success and thanks to Anabella for the picnic. The boat is specially adapted for the less-able with a lift for getting on and off.

Normal Service is now resuming

It's been nearly a month since the last post and I apologise for that. A lot has been happening with 3 outings as well as the usual in-house things. The writer has been busy on other things and recent visitors will have seen the garden being dug up and tons of hardcore going in. This is the base for 'rubber crumb' which will cover the patio area and a new path to the bottom of the garden. Rubber crumb is a firm but slightly forgiving surface which will be smooth and easy to walk on and much, much safer than concrete slabs if someone should have a fall.
