Easter is just around the corner, and there has been a lovely sense of excitement in the air. We spent some enjoyable time taking part in Easter crafts, creating beautiful, colourful Easter eggs in a variety of bright spring shades. Everyone embraced their creative side, adding their own unique designs and personal touches to their work.

It was especially heart warming to hear the cheerful conversations and laughter between friends as they sat together crafting. The room was filled with creativity, companionship and a wonderful community spirit. Moments like these truly highlight how special shared activities can be.

We were also delighted to enjoy a visit from Cosmic Sparkle, who came in and sang some beautiful songs for us all. The music brought smiles to many faces, and there was even a little gentle singing along. Robyn has been coming to Millway for many years and, as always, she brought that extra sparkle to our day. Her visits are always warmly anticipated and greatly appreciated by everyone.

It has been a joyful and colourful start to our Easter celebrations, and we are all looking forward to the festivities ahead.

Hannah has been in this week with her beautiful guinea pigs. She is a regular visitor here at Millway and always brings along her little furry friends. They are all extremely well behaved, and everyone loves to see them.

Four came with her this time, and it was definitely Strawberry who stole the show! She is still very young and not totally used to being handled as much as the others, so she was full of beans throughout the visit.

We are looking forward to seeing all of them again very soon!

We have been very lucky over the past couple of weeks to welcome two fantastic singers to entertain us all at Millway.

First, we had Amanda, who sang some wonderful classics, both old and new. Amanda has been coming to Millway for many years now, and we all love to hear her sing and watch her dance. She always brings such warmth and energy to her performances.

We were also delighted to welcome Ryan, who used to sing on the Queen Mary! He brought incredible talent and charisma, and had everyone smiling from start to finish.

Both Amanda and Ryan have amazing voices and make such an effort to interact with everyone – staff, visitors and residents alike. Even the window cleaner got a special mention! There was lots of singing, dancing and foot-tapping, and everyone felt truly uplifted by their performances.

We’re already looking forward to welcoming them both back again very soon!

Valentine’s Day is here again, and there was lots of strawberries and chocolate needed to make our sweet Valentine’s treats today. Things got a little messy at times, but that just added to the fun and laughter while everyone enjoyed getting involved. There were plenty of smiles as the treats were carefully made and decorated. Once they had all set, some of the residents enjoyed them as a delicious dessert at lunchtime — and they went down very well!

The residents have also been busy putting the finishing touches to their Valentine’s cards for the staff. They have all worked really hard on them . All of the cards have now been secretly delivered, ready to surprise the staff and spread a little extra Valentine’s cheer.”

Hello, hello, hello! Well, what a day we had yesterday. The local police station sent in two members of staff to recruit more police officers into the local area. Lots of the residents were very keen to help the local community and offer their services.

We did have a moment when a member of the team put a little too much milk in a cup of tea, but help was on hand as Officer Tom stepped in and dealt with the situation very quickly and had everything back to normal in a flash.

We were all very pleased to see Tom and Renee and catch up with them both. We are looking forward to seeing them again soon.

On Friday, we were entertained by Just the Two of Us, who came in to sing for everyone. A great time was had by all, with lots of singing, dancing, and laughter throughout the session.

We also celebrated our wonderful volunteer Sue’s birthday. Sue has been part of Millway House for many years as one of our therapy dog owners. Sadly, last year she lost her beloved dog Holly, but she has continued to support us by visiting every Friday and carrying on her amazing work with everyone here.

Sue is hoping to restart her therapy dog sessions in the coming months with her new furry friend, which we are all very much looking forward to.

Happy Birthday, Sue! We hope you had a lovely day, and thank you for everything you do for us at Millway House.

This week we were delighted to welcome the Memory Box Foundation, who brought along a beautiful travel-themed memory box. Kayte led the session, talking with everyone about holidays and faraway places.

The box included items representing many different countries, including examples of currency from before the Euro was introduced across Europe. These items encouraged everyone to reminisce and share their experiences of places they had visited over the years.

The session sparked many lovely conversations. Some ladies spoke about living abroad in distant countries, while others shared stories of returning to favourite holiday destinations year after year. Some also talked about their experiences of going on cruises and the wonderful memories they had made while travelling.

It was a truly enjoyable and engaging session, and it was lovely to hear so many special memories being shared amongst the group.

Lots of craft-time fun has been going on at Millway! Some insects and bugs have now appeared around the home, so be careful if you are coming in… don’t worry, they are our wonderful crafty creations and not the real thing!🐛🦋🐌🐞🐜🪰🪲🪳🐛🦋

We have also started making our Valentine’s cards. There have been some very pretty designs created, along with some lovely poems written inside. These special cards are going to be given as a surprise to some unsuspecting staff members, which has made the crafting even more exciting and full of giggles.

Everyone has really enjoyed getting creative and sharing ideas with each other. I have even brought in a storage container to safely keep mine in when I receive them 😍!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Great fun was had by all during our Move to the Music session. This time, not only did we have some fabulous pom-poms to shake and wave along to the music, but we were also treated to a wonderful surprise! A rather lovely gentleman took to the floor and showed us all how it was really done, with some fantastic moves and plenty of enthusiasm.

There was lots of laughter, clapping and smiling as everyone joined in, waving their pom-poms and enjoying the music together. It was wonderful to see so many people getting involved, having fun, and sharing such a joyful and energetic session. We are already looking forward to the next one!💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺

We had a lovely visit from Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital yesterday, who came to collect their cheque and the money we all raised from the Christmas raffle. Marilyn gave us a wonderful talk about all the animals they care for and how cute the baby foxes are. However, she reminded us not to become too attached, as they are wild animals and the hospital always aims to return them safely back to the wild.

They care for many different types of animals that come into the hospital, from mice to deer, birds of prey, swans and ducks. At the moment, they have many hedgehogs because it has been a mild and wet winter. Some hedgehogs wake up too early and are not ready to go back out yet, as they have not eaten enough before hibernation.

We should all look out for hedgehogs in our gardens, as they like to build nests in borders, in piles of grass or leaves, or under sheds. When spring arrives, please be mindful when working in the garden and keep an eye out for their nests.

Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital is near Newton Tony and is always ready to help any bird or injured animal. They do an amazing job, and Millway is very pleased to pass on £600 from the raffle, knowing they will make great use of all the funds raised.🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰🦊🐻🐼🐻‍❄️🐨🐯🦁🐮🐷🐽🐸🐦🐧🐔🐒🙊🙉🙈🐵🐤🐣🐥🪿🦆🐦‍⬛🦅🦎🐍🐢🦂🕷️🦖🐴🦄🫎🐝🪱
