Last week we took a virtual trip to Romania
We enjoyed Romanian dancing, snacks and drinks. A virtual tour of Romania and a quiz.
We were then delighted to welcome ‘Sunny’ Vanessa’s Romanian rescue dog. Vanessa explained Sunnys story and showed us her passport, then Sunny had lots of cuddles and kisses from everyone!

Another successful cookery club afternoon last week; this time cooking Bubble and Squeak.
This was resident John’s idea as he said it was a traditional dish to make after Christmas with all the leftovers.
