Louise wrapped up warm for a lovely walk around Knowle Park and House🧣🌿

The fresh air, peaceful surroundings and gentle stroll made for a perfect winter outing. It’s always wonderful to spend time in such a beautiful place, and Louise enjoyed spotting the many deer in the grounds. 🦌💚

We’re so lucky to have places like Knowle Park right on our doorstep - the ideal spot for a calming walk and a change of scenery.

Our residents enjoyed getting creative with a flower‑arranging afternoon. They selected their favourite flowers and foliage, prepared each piece for their basket display, and took in all the wonderful scents and textures along the way.
They look amazing and bring a touch of colour for everyone to enjoy. 🌻🌹💐🧺
