Easter Time

We had a lot of fun at Easter. Everyone enjoyed modelling the hats they'd made. The cake was a traditional simmnel cake made in chat club. Thanks to Gladys' friend Janet for some of the photos.

Lambs

We went to see the lambs at Lin and John O'Dells farm at Tattersett. It's very convenient as we can get the bus right up to the lambing pens and could see the gangs of lambs chasing about. Lin brought us 2 orphans to bottle feed and they were a big hit. We considered smuggling them home with us but the thought of 2 fully grown sheep to look after brought us to our senses. Chris and Gwyneth had looked after lambs in the past and so were very confident.

Easter Flowers

Our Lady Gardener Rita is also a professional flower arranger and came to help us do some arrangements for Easter. Hopefully they'll still be looking good by then, although it might be a challenge in the warmth of Woodspring

We Did The Sport Relief Mile

Residents, relatives, staff and friends of Woodspring House walked the mile for Sport Relief, raising in excess of £250. The route took us through the town and down to the River Wensum at Gogg's Mill. We stopped there for a photo opportunity and to feed the ducks and hens before crossing the bridge and making it to the garden centre for a warm-up and a welcome cup of tea. The final stretch was back a long the river bank from Hempton and back to the warmth.

A big thank you to everyone one who helped, to everyone who sponsored us and to Fakenham Garden Centre for making us so welcome.

The Parachute

Getting the parachute out and rolling a ball over it is a simple but fun thing to do. It can get a bit competitive with trying to woosh the ball over to the other side.
