Last week Owen enjoyed a morning out with his day staff at Brigg Garden Centre — a wonderful achievement, as visiting new places isn’t always easy for him. Owen embraced the adventure with enthusiasm, telling staff he was on a spy mission! 🕵️‍♂️

He returned with a big smile and was excited to share all the details of his day. Well done, Owen — your confidence is growing every day! 👏

Today, we pause to remember the brave men and women who gave everything in service to their country. Their courage, sacrifice and unwavering sense of duty shaped the peace and freedoms we hold dear.

At Glenholme, we honour their memory with gratitude and sorrow in equal measure. We remember not only those who fell, but those who carried on — rebuilding, healing and sharing their wisdom so that generations after them might live in peace.

We will remember them. 🌹

James spent some time in the Birchwood garage with Ash, Birchwood Lodge's Maintenance Man, where together they built a birdhouse. James wanted to place it in the garden and, of course, paint it bright blue—just like his favourite hoover, also named James! He is now eagerly watching from his flat window, hoping to spot some birds moving into his new birdhouse.

Larbi had a fantastic afternoon baking his very own vanilla cupcakes! 🧁 With support from staff, he followed a picture-based recipe, helped with shopping for ingredients, and got hands-on mixing, whisking, and filling the cupcake cases. He stayed focused, smiled throughout, and was so proud when it was time to taste his delicious creations, he said “Good!” with a big smile. 😄👏

It's never too early for Christmas cheer! Marcus decided he'd get a head start on decorating and started putting up his Christmas Tree. He called Manager Heather over to see his progress, and they finished the decorating together. Marcus was really pleased with how it turned out, and it was a fun, positive activity that brightened his day. 🎄😊
