We do like a little bit of retail therapy and this week some of our residents have had a great time on a trip out to Bluewater Shopping. From having a look round the shops, enjoying a spot of lunch, a walk by the lake and rounding the trip off with a coffee and doughnut. A perfect day enjoyed by all 🍟☕❤️

The wet weather hasn't been on our side this week but it hasn't dampened our spirits as we've introduced some new games as part of our activities programme and boy have they have been a hit!

From games of Granny Pants, Inflatable Basket Ball and Don't Pop the Balloon, it's definitely creating lots of fun, laughter and memory making throughout the home.
