It’s been a busy few weeks at Charnley House, and we’ve certainly made the most of the warmer weather and longer days. Here’s a quick round-up of some of the recent activities our residents have enjoyed.

Jigsaw Time

There’s something really satisfying about piecing together a good puzzle, and our residents have been putting their skills to the test with some new jigsaws. It’s a great way to stay focused and pass the time with a cuppa and a chat.

Getting Our Hands Dirty

We’ve started planting seeds in the garden, and it’s been a lovely way to spend some time outdoors. Fingers crossed we’ll have some colourful blooms and tasty herbs popping up soon. It’s always nice to see things grow, especially when you’ve planted them yourself!

Cards and Creativity

Our card-making session was a hit, with residents getting stuck in with scissors, glue, and plenty of colour. Some beautiful designs were created. We’ve definitely got a few natural crafters in the house.

Rocky Road Baking

Who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate? Our baking afternoon was all about rocky road – biscuits, marshmallows, chocolate and smiles all round. The best bit? Getting to taste the results, of course.

A Bit of Colouring-In Calm

We’ve also enjoyed some mindfulness colouring, a relaxing way to wind down and bring a splash of colour to the day. It’s always amazing to see how different everyone’s creations turn out, even when they start with the same design.

Sunshine and Fresh Air

Whenever the sun’s made an appearance, we’ve headed outside to enjoy it. Whether it’s for a chat, a stroll, or just to sit back and soak it in, a bit of sunshine always lifts the spirits.

Sweet Treats

Finally, we’ve been cooling off with ice creams and milkshakes. A little treat that’s gone down very well with everyone. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry… we’ve covered all the classics!
