Meteorologically St David’s Day marks the start of Spring. Our staff and residents are uplifted with the promise of lighter evenings, colourful Spring flowers and ‘hopefully’ more sunshine.
In Activities we have been pleased to welcome the PAT dog Maggie Mae for her monthly visit. She is adorable and gets fussed over and given lots of treats. We had a slightly different twist on Bingo this week, it was a birthday themed one, which gave residents the opportunity to talk about birthdays while playing. It was interesting to see how birthdays are celebrated in the US, too. We had another session of poster jigsaw puzzles.
Art has featured three times recently. One time we painted fruit and vegetables, another we painted pebbles and finally we painted or coloured in daffodils in preparation for St David’s Day on March 1st. 
On Thursday we had a constructive Residents’ Meeting. St Mark’s also came for the service, and we look forward to them coming again on Good Friday. Music Club was Noeline’s choice, and we had a mix of more modern songs from Radio 2, as well as some Golden Oldies which got everyone’s feet tapping.
