Spring is on its way and we are preparing our outdoor flower trough for some pretty flowers. Some residents planted some seeds for an indoor plant pot.

Our fish are now wide awake and hungry. Thankfully, one of our lovely residents feeds them each day to make sure they are well cared for. We love watching them from the lounge, swimming around their huge pond which is built into the patio wall. On warmer days we sit in the rear garden with a cup of tea watching them glide through the water.

Easter was such fun this year with an Easter Egg Hunt around the home. Fairby has lots of ‘nooks and crannies’ which make egg hunting really challenging. We all enjoyed our Easter Eggs whilst watching ‘Easter Jive Bunny’ entertainment. A lovely couple sang and danced with us and put on a fantastic show.

On Easter Sunday we held our Egg Raffle and raised a huge £120 for our residents fund. Thank you to all those who bought a ticket.

Nicki took some residents to Larkfield Leisure Centre for a coffee and slice of cake. Its lovely to drive through the countryside and visit somewhere different.

Our first Boat trip is planned for Friday 10th May. We will be going on an all day trip on the River Medway from Wateringbury Marina down stream to the Law Courts in Maidstone. We love the boat trips which are so relaxing. Debbie will be our Skipper for the day and will let us have a go at steering the boat and doing the locks if we want.

Nicki is planning our Summer Fete for Saturday 27th July this year - so keep that date free.

We had a busy month getting ready for Mothers day by creating lovely daffodil cards and bracelets with the help of the visiting Arts & Craft Workshop. Emma helps us create wonderful things which we can wear and show off to our families.

We have been getting out and about to our usual Tuesday club in New Ash Green- even in the nasty weather.

We had our monthly quiz where The Hollies joined us at our home - they managed to retain the cup this time. Better luck next time Fairby.

After having such a lovely Christmas at Fairby, we have planned more activities this year, with more singers, outings including 3 boat trips on the River Medway, cooking club and quiz afternoons with our friends at The Hollies.

We had a marvellous afternoon with Mike the Magician, who showed us how to spin plates, blow up balloons into various shapes and generally had a right old belly laugh.

We’ve still been attending our weekly Tuesday club in New Ash Green where we sing, play games, eat delicious cupcakes with a coffee and try our best at winning some prizes on the raffle.
