This afternoon we had a relaxing mindful jigsaw puzzle session, we did this in a very small group in a quiet area. It is a simple but effective activity that allows the brain to focus. It is also a great way to work together and bond as a group.

We have started a new Daily Exercise Class at The Hawthorns. The residents did an amazing job following the exercises using their arms and legs. They paused when they needed to and encouraged each other throughout. A massive round of applause was given by everyone after!

Love is sharing the simple things in life, helping one another with the smallest of tasks can often be the greatest of gestures. Cecil and Myra shared a lovely valentines day lunch. I loved listening to them reminisce about their roller skating days together.
