Bawdeswell outing and Christmas cooking prep

It has been very busy at Woodspring House in the last week, as the Christmas preparations get under way. The Christmas pudding has been made, Victoria has been busy creating our custom made advent calendar, Heather came in to do movement to music and we even had time to fit in a trip to Bawdeswell Garden Centre for a dementia friendly lunch. It will get busier as the festive season approaches, check out December's activity chart for all that's on around Christmas.

Mick's birthday


Yesterday was Mick's birthday and to celebrate we had Paul Martin in to sing us some country and western tunes. He got everyone up and started a Line dance, all that's missing are the cowboy hats and boots!

New Facebook page

Woodspring House has a new Facebook page, please follow this link https://www.facebook.com/Woodspring-House-151209602125334/  to like and follow. Please follow this link for our Facebook page as we did have an old one which is now no longer in use, but is still around on Facebook. We are hoping to update the blog and Facebook simultaneously, so those who do not use social media can still keep in touch with what we have been up to at the home. 


Remember, remember the 5th of November

On the 5th of November we had the Woodspring House firework display, and in the run up to it we got busy making a "Guy" for the occasion. Strangely, our Guy looks a little too happy to be burning at the stake... perhaps it was his celeb status that made him cherry, everyone wanted to get their picture taken with Woodspring's newest member!
