Chinese New Year, chat club games and 5 generations!

To celebrate the Chinese New Year we have been enjoying some Chinese cuisine and trying out eating with some chopsticks! Also we had Phyllis' family come in. Jade, Phyllis' great grand daughter brought in her baby son, so that all 5 generations were together at once! And then in chat club we have been getting the games out again, which proved a huge hit!

Gosh what a busy month January has been! Even though the social media rep has been MIA for the last few weeks, Woodspring House has been really busy! As ever Heather has been getting everyone going in Movement to Music. There was also a trip to Bawdeswell Garden Centre for a dementia friendly lunch, where a bit of shopping was had. In chat club people have been reminiscing about their favourite old toys and having a good with them again and I mustn't forget to mention we had Burns night, where resident Scot, Betty, showed us how it was done!
