‘Malta Story’ on the Big Screen from 1953 certainly was a hit with our film club members 📽️🎞️🍿🎬

During World War II, British photo-reconnaissance pilot Peter (Alec Guinness) discovers that the Italians are planning a secret invasion of Malta, a strategically important island nation critical to keeping the Allied supply lines open. Though they have few resources left, Peter and his commanding officer, Frank (Jack Hawkins), resolve to fight off the enemy and save the island. At the same time, Peter struggles to keep his relationship with a local girl from falling apart.

Is Spring here yet Peta? 🌷💐🐇🐥🐰 Well maybe… but let's do some planning first! Still a little chilly for the dungarees and green fingers -
Peta grabbed hold of the gardening books acquired by Paul and started to see what we could create at The Croft.

Bill had a fabulous day out last week at The Punchbowl in Bridgnorth courtesy of Alz Cafe.

He enjoyed a delicious carvery followed by apple pie and custard, which he ate with gusto, before playing a game of bingo and having a sing song!

Bill is a very popular chap at Alz Cafe and is always chatting to everyone.

A fabulous day, thanks so much to Alz Cafe!

Who says we don't enjoying doing arts and crafts?.. well, the residents generally say so, stating in feedback surveys that they aren't too keen on getting their paint brushes out and wearing berets 🎨🤣

However a bit of a scrap booking and creating cards is another thing! Looking at old postcards, calendar’s and copies of National Geographic magazines from 1956 are much more appealing. It certainly got everyone talking, laughing, reminiscing, digressing and totally eating away at the afternoon!

We managed to make 2 cards for 2 of our birthday girls at The Croft - Jeanne, who absolutely loves cats, and Helen whose birthday it is later in the month.

Thank you ladies for such a fun afternoon.

Our new cinema room is already proving a big hit with residents! For this week’s movie matinee we enjoyed the fun, musical comedy ‘Anchors Away’, starring ol’ blue eyes himself Mr Frank Sinatra, and the ever-talented Gene Kelly. 📽️🎞️🎬🍿

The ever-popular Quiz of the Week always gets the grey matter working! It’s a fantastic way to learn something new, share plenty of laughs, and spark great discussions.

A big thank you to the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre for a brilliant Memory Café, and to Darcy Edwards for keeping us so wonderfully entertained. Olivia, Audrey and everyone else had an absolutely fabulous time. 😊

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of armchair travel to France! We chatted about famous landmarks and shared special memories of places some of us had been lucky enough to visit.

We also listened to music from French favourites such as Edith Piaf and Sacha Distel, and of course sang along to ‘La Marseillaise’ - which everyone seemed to know the words to!

A truly interesting and cultural afternoon enjoyed by all. 🥖🥐🧀🇨🇵

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful Tuesday filled with meaningful moments. In the morning, they took a step back in time as we explored some vintage sheet music. There was plenty of singing along to familiar tunes, and Margaret was especially amused by some of the delightful details we discovered.

Later in the day, we came together for Holy Communion, with our friends from St. Barts leading a lovely and reflective service. A truly special day for everyone involved, and we give thanks to our friends at St. Barts for taking the time to visit us.

Book Club was back, and our book-loving members enjoyed exploring a wonderful variety of literature. The most popular choice was 'England: 1,000 Things You Need to Know' by Nicholas Hobbes, with residents fascinated by the wealth of trivia inside.

"Please Don't Eat The Daisies" was the first film we watched on our new screen kindly donated by the Tony Lamsdale family who was a much loved gent who lived at The Croft for a number of years. The new screen is now in the inglenook wing of the home. And because of the kind donation of a vast array of films from another gentleman who lived with us at The Croft, we have now decided to title our cinema gatherings.
“The Stanley Yates Cinema Club” has now been formed, and it's a fitting tribute to a wonderful gentleman who was thought very fondly of.

Thank you to Tony and Stanley's respective families for their lovely donations and Great Dad's. ☺️

A big thank you to Jane, the daughter of Croft resident June, who made us the Alphabet Game or Spin The Letter! We loved playing it, and it certainly got the lounge focused and engaged throughout the afternoon, with deep thought, discussion, digression, laughs, music and fun! So the idea of the game is, we pick a topic, for example ‘foods beginning with the letter…’, spin the wheel, and then we get our thinking caps on… 🧢🎓🧢🎓
