A great turn-out to the special ‘Singing for the brain’ Christmas event at Brixington Church today, with six residents joining in. It was a lovely sociable afternoon and not at all as serious as this picture would suggest!

……..was better than ever! A full House with lots of family, lots of dancing, Christmas presents, a raffle and some fantastic food. Phew!

Every Wednesday we take residents to the wonderful ‘Singing for the Brain’ circle which is expertly led the very energetic Glenda of the Alzheimer’s Society. Glenda mentioned that she sings in a choir and when offered we snapped up the opportunity for them to perform at Rose Lodge.

So today the Withycombe Warblers came to entertain the residents with a selection from their reportoire which we all greatly enjoyed. About half-way through the performance Tom came up behind the choir and quietly joined in (You can just see him in the first picture).

They are looking for additional singers – if you are interested please call choir leader Claire on 01363 866819.

Performed by residents, relatives, and staff! Judging by the pictures, no commentary is required….

Hell no – we just love to dance!

And with seven gentlemen in the home, there’s a lot of dancing going on. This was today on our live music day.
