A lovely weekend celebrating International Women’s Day with lots of fun and creativity! 🌸

Congratulations to Betty who won this week’s quiz in celebration of International Women’s Day. 👏

Well done as well to Iris and Joan who both won prizes in our first bingo session for a little while – great to have it back! 🎲

We also enjoyed a bit of Art Therapy with Elizabeth, finishing the day with a celebration of women in music featuring favourites from The Carpenters, Gloria Gaynor, and The Supremes. 🎶

A wonderful weekend celebrating great women, creativity, and music. 🎵🎵🎵

🐴 What a magical visit we had yesterday!

There’s definitely been a bit of a horse theme this month. From our artwork and activities to visits from our wonderful childminders, everything led up to a very special visit to celebrate the end of Chinese New Year and the year of the horse.

A huge thank you to Happy Hooves Equine Ltd – Equine Assisted Therapy & Transport for bringing their gorgeous miniature horse, Vino, to visit us. The emotions and memories she evoked were truly magical, and it was such a joy for everyone to experience such a gentle and special interaction

As we come towards the end of our Chinese New Year celebrations, we assisted our visiting children in making Hobby Horses to decorate our home.
Horses have been the theme this month as we also finished off our very own masterpiece recently, which is being framed as we speak for all to see. 🐎🧧❤️
