On receiving the news of a tree for the Jubilee, our lovely residents were made up to hear of the two occasions coming together.

After a lot of consideration the residents opted for a colourful tree to brighten up their environment on this special occasion.

In painting club we tried out some new aquapaint canvasses, the residents loved the ‘magic’ of seeing what colours and patterns would appear with just a sweep of the brush, perfect for anyone to have a go. It made for a lovely calm afternoon of painting and conversation.
