Book morning
Everyone needs a quiet morning to read newspapers and books or catch up with puzzles….. with some classical music playing quietly in the background. Perfect!
The importance of feeling useful
This morning Brenda said something that we sometimes forget. She said while washing up dishes – “I do not particularly want to wash up the dishes or like doing that. I just like being useful” Getting on with the day can mean catching up on the newspapers and books, sorting out the flowers on the tables, sweeping the terrace, watering the garden, chopping veg for lunch, washing up or cleaning the tables – feeling useful and feeling good about oneself. Simples!
How do you do it?
We are asked often this question. Well, here is one of the answers and it has been a well guarded secret. Mix in equal quantities genuine interest and love for everyone, eyes which make you smile and feel warm inside, arms that hug you just when you need it, a big smile and quick feet that simply make it impossible not to want to dance – mix carefully and you will get Ellesha

Dining on the terrace, sunbathing in the cooler evening sun,chilling out – simply amazing. Has summer really arrived or was it just a another blip?
