Yesterday we held our coffee afternoon, which happens on the first Thursday of every month.

We enjoyed a quiz about remembrance day, before looking through the victoriana antique boxes we are loaned from the Orkney library.

Family and friends are welcome to come along. ☕️

Another busy afternoon at Hamnavoe.

We have been busy making autumn wreaths, pumpkin faces, painting pumpkins and making spooky cupcakes. 🎃

The wreaths will go on display at the front, so you can see them as you come in.

A fantastic afternoon well spent at the Kirkjuvagr Orkney Gin yesterday!

Firstly, we got to try 4 different gins, origin, arkh angel, aurora and beyla. We were talked through the different flavours and their recommended pairings.

We then got a tour, and a cuppa afterwards.

A fantastic afternoon well spent, great company and a very professional and fun tour.

Thanks again for hosting us! It was thoroughly enjoyed by all. 😁

Cheers! 🥃🥃🥃

Recently we have been working with the Orkney Men's Shed to come up with these lovely fidget toys. This is the third lot that Simon has very kindly brought to us, they have been very well received here with residents using them daily.
Studies have shown that fidget toys are beneficial to help with cognitive function and memory, helping individuals stay calm and focused while using them.
Thanks again, to the Orkney Men's Shed for all of the support you have given us so far!
