Helping or caring at Rose Lodge is not always exclusive to certain people. One could argue that it is especially powerful when coming from a fellow resident.

Relaxing tense muscles… 

Sorting out a stuck shirt…. 

Pushing a trolley with picnic lunch …..

Helping a friend in a wheelchair ….

Our annual spring trip took us this time to Bicton Park. With rain coming down all week we were terribly lucky to wake up to a sunny Friday. We got thumbs up from everyone - we all enjoyed the gardens, the museum and the picnic lunch (thank you Tracy for the yummy  food).

Our environment and activities allow people to socialise and pursue their interests either as part of a larger group or solo.  Here are hilights from this week

In our new garden…

Walking……..

Doing puzzles….

Singing…..

Chit chat…

Turning a  bunch of wild flowers picked on a walk into beatufil arrangements

Our second consecutive sunny day this week! Nothing better  than a party on the terrace; the highlight has definitely been an impromptu sing-along to all time classics led by Chanda.

After all the rain, a sunny warm day draws our gardeners for potting and general tidying up.

Nothing better than a cuppa with friends to finish the day’s work off.It is great to see now how the new garden design attracts more people outside.
