Please check out our new videos of Jan, Joan, Lucy & Dot on the video page…

We thoroughly enjoyed another wonderful drama session today…
Toni took us to Church.  Love poems, a solo singing performance from Joan, rose scented petals …. and before we knew it we had a happy couple waiting to be married!.. new Vicar David overcame his qualms and successfully tied the knot for Pat W and Tony.  The wedding vows were taken despite unruly bridemaids and dissent!  After the service Eric led a formal toasting of the  newlyweds.  We sampled  ‘Champagne’ and heart shaped lemon and orange biscuits handmade the day before by Rita P and The Vicar.

Drama session with Toni 17/3/15

Toni took us all on a draughty adventure with kite flying, poetry and hot air balloon games.  We became a collection of characters, some good, some bad and some most unusual, and we negotiated the next flight.

 The Forbury Residential Home Children’s Easter Egg Hunt

 

Gez Hughes, a talented professional photographer took these pictures for us. They capture the music, the movement and enjoyment of an afternoon with Carol, a singer who joined us and also brought her  lights which added disco fever…..  

Rita P, David, Graham, Ann H and Tony, don comic relief glasses and raise a smile of two. Glasses courtesy of the pupils from Leominster Primary School who spent the afternoon with us. We are ready to begin a large canvas mural….a creative collaboration between the pupils and Forbury residents, based on the theme of ‘Clothing’.

Eric, Paddy and Betty work on large canvas pictures….so did Lucy, Rita P. Joan, Hilda, Colleen and David (but my camera stopped before I could carry on taking pictures – the battery needed re-charging, whoops). We are showing some of the residents paintings in May at the Courtyard during the ‘Remember Me‘ celebration, in an exhibition we have titled Travelling By Moonlight. We shall tell you more when we get closer to the exhibition.

Here are some great photographs of Forbury residents and staff enjoying the Christmas celebrations..
