Woodspring House had a little lamb

It wouldn't be Easter without a little lamb, so instead of going to see them this year we brought them to us. Everyone really enjoyed having an adorable little lamb in the home, it was smothered with kisses and cuddles!

New additions to Woodspring House

Back in November we had to say goodbye to our lovely old Beech tree. It was a sad decision but a necessary one. But now we are pleased to reveal that we have had the incredible wood carver Ben Loughrill come in to transform our tree stumps into beautiful works of art! They now stand pride of place at our entrance and proudly watch over us. Thanks Ben for an amazing job, they look incredible! Treecycling Check out Ben's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/treecycling77/ or google him to see all of his work featured in various publications. What do you think?


Classical Music at the Church

On the first Saturday of the month we took some residents down to Fakenham Church to see a classical music performance. This month was given to the Oboe and next month it is dedicated to Music around the world. The quality was very good and everyone enjoyed the trip out, we look forward to the next one.

Easter Bonnet parade

Over the Easter weekend the staff and residents at Woodspring House made some amazing easter bonnets and it would only be right if there was a parade afterwards to show off these amazing hats!
