Yesterday Kay decided to organise the tables for lunch after our workout class. She got Ron to do one table, Rene another and within few minutes the tables were set. What a team! Thank you Kay

a walk a day keeps the doctor away, keeps us in synch with everyone else including dogs, and allows to offload our thoughts. Feeling the sun on our skins, hearing the birds singing their eve or morning song – what else would one wish to do. Today was no different – Ian, Gerry, Meg, Joy, Bob, Clare and others. Bob loved listening to the birds – they were singing their hearts out this afternoon, Meg loved the flowers.

Mick has been working with our fitness enthusiasts for over a year now and he often says we are the best class he has in terms fitness, strength and of course enthusiasm. Twice a week between 7-12 people join the class. The core fitness fanatics are of Kay, Betty, Harry, Dennis, Rene, Reg, John and Meg and they have been joined recently by Ron. Stiff joints or not they get together twice a week to stretch, have fun and stay fit!  Just in case anyone thinks this is easy going chair exercise – the exercises are no different to those Mick has in his other classes with younger people and our residents tend to be fitter and more flexible than our staff!

Ethel and Ethne love being out in the garden soaking up the sun and the sounds of spring. Today they were the last two standing ……..

Ladies at work on Tuesday. Betty and Kay got immediately busy with this enormous bunch if flowers we received on Tuesday and Ethne joined them too with a spectacular arrangement. The tables look beautiful ladies, thank you.
