Ann and Sandra are invaluable members of the team and we took a moment in Volunteers Week to thank them for all their dedicated help and support

Special Animal Guests

Recently we enjoyed a fascinating visit from some very special guests. We loved the tortoise, bearded dragon and little gerbils. We all had the opportunity to learn more about these wonderful animals and had the chance to hold them.

An equestrian outing to Wellington Riding School!

The sun may have been hiding but that didn't stop us having a wonderful time outdoors watching the impressive riders and their beloved horses!

Seated Zumba with a Twist

We had our weekly seated Zumba class yesterday but this week there was a little bit of a twist.............our chef made some time in the morning to make the most stunning of cakes and brought it out just in time for the end of the Zumba class.
 
Safe to say that it went down very well.
 
Nothing like a tasty home made treat after a fun-filled session!!!!
