Sit down Yoga
We tried our hands at something a bit different recently - sit down yoga. Relaxing music and gentle exercise to help with confidence and balance on our feet. Any movement big or small helps with the confidence of remaining mobile. We embraced it, and had a few little giggles! It was a lovely way to spend a Friday morning.

Visit from a local pre-school
We were lucky to have a visit from children from a local pre-school recently. They sang a few songs to our residents and then helped in the garden. We planted some seeds for them to take home to see who can grow the tallest bean stalk, the children or the residents...watch this space to see how it goes!
