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 new pond cover, pergola, and dovecote

Phew we got the garden ready just in time for the grand opening party. The new bright blue pond cover was fitted on Monday, and our dovecote came on Tuesday. Seven of us did the finishing touches on Tuesday, ready for the party. The Mayor of Exmouth and pupils from the Beacon School officially opened the gardens and then we did what we do best – enjoy ourselves ! – Chanda entertained with some of the ‘old songs’ while we chatted and danced. We were very lucky with the weather – a perfect afternoon.

For the official opening of the new gardens, and watered the just-planted current bushes and strawberries.

Spider’s web ? Sea Urchin ?

Whatever it is, it will soon grace our pond, just in time for the party next week!

Carpentry, welding, and electrics today. Almost there….
