Everyone who joined had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to put their creative skills to the test by painting some landscapes of our their in the coming days!

5 year old Silky an African Grey Parrot came along to Archview to visit our residents. Silky was on his best behaviour and enjoyed saying hello to our residents. One resident said what a big beautiful bird and really enjoyed him sitting on his shoulder. Archview would really like to thank William Johnston for bringing Silky along. Everyone is looking forward to his next visit.

We went a trip down to Lucas ice shop in Musselburgh. On our way down to Lucas we sang Roaming in the gloaming, it’s a long way to Tipperary and loads more fun and laughter on the bus. Once we got down to Lucas we asked each resident what king of ice cream they would like Margaret said I would like a Vanilla tub please, Nancy said oh mint choc chip is my favourite, George said can I have a raspberry ripple tub please and Jimmy wanted a Strawberry cone all residents enjoyed there ice cream and enjoyed there afternoon and on our way we went through Whitecraig to see the horses and we named the white horse Daisy.

Blackpool came along to Archview for the day & night. In the morning we watched the parade going along the Blackpool prom. All residents that watched the parade going along the prom really enjoyed it. Brought back so many good memories. At night we put the Blackpool tour on the big screen all residents enjoyed seeing all the trams lit up and the Blackpool lights along the prom. Brought back so many memories for most of our residents one residents said to her daughter I can remember taking you to Blackpool when you were young and that wasn’t yesterday. Some residents said it was just like being at Blackpool as the dining room was all lit up with bright colourful lights.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time enjoying the virtual screening of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em. Frank Spencer’s comical misadventures had everyone laughing and it was wonderful to see so many happy faces. 

Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to The Barn Theatre in the Cotswolds for bringing this stage adaptation of the beloved sitcom to our screens.
