November 2023

November is getting off to a winning start. We hosted our new monthly quiz afternoon with another local home and we grabbed the Trophy back - winning by 3 points. We all had a lovely afternoon with a bit of healthy competition over coffee and cakes.

Following on with the healthy competition - some of us popped out to our local Bowling Alley for a game of tenpin bowling. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It brought back a lot of memories and tested everyone’s skills. Some very impressive shots I must admit. This is something we will certainly continue. See the photos and videos of the event.

We’ve already had a few Christmas invites, one to the Longfield Academy where we are spoilt with cakes, drinks, quizzes and singing with staff and children.

We have a small group of local Beavers visiting us early December to sing to us and have a little cake or 2.

Our usual Tuesday Club have also invited us to their Xmas party, which is always fun. Who doesn’t like getting dressed up, singing and dancing and of course eating sandwiches and cakes!!

October 2023

Happy Halloween everyone.

We’ve been busy making decorations for our little tree which is in the reception area with scary spiders and pumpkins and are all hoping for a treat or two.

We have joined up with a nearby Care Home - The Hollies to hold a monthly quiz. We will take it in turns to hold the event. The first event was held at The Hollies, who won this months quiz. We have a trophy for the winning Home. Better luck next time Fairby - we will be on home ground for the next quiz, so watch out The Hollies.

During our regular Tuesday club visits, Winnie was given the microphone and sang to the hall. Well done Winnie. We have been invited to their Breast Cancer Charity morning where there will be singing and dancing along with teas and cakes.

One of our residents help our Vicar conduct the church service which is held every 2 weeks. Theresa stood up in the lounge and said some prayers to everyone. Thank you Theresa!!

We have some interesting events planned for November, including a Zoolab visit and even a Bowling afternoon at The Rochester Bowling Alley. This should be great fun. Look out for photos next month.

August / September 2023

We have been out and about this summer enjoying the weather at Gravesend Promenade and Camer park for an ice cream.

Our plant tub in the back garden has come on leaps and bounds with all our nurturing and watering. It’s lovely to sit and enjoy the garden, looking at our beautiful fish with friends and relatives.

We have had a few birthdays over the summer and had singers in to entertain us.

Our yearly outing on the Kingfisher Boat took place in August and residents loved sailing up and down the Medway. Debbie was our Skipper for the day and one of our gentlemen residents even helped crew with the locks and steering the boat. We’ve already booked our 2 trips for next year.
