Coffee and Our Favourite Things

Our care home residents had a fantastic time at our Coffee Morning gathering led by Jen last week.

Our volunteer Jen is organising a session each week to talk about our residents’ “favourite things” and on Monday it was all about holiday memories – we shared stories that brought smiles to everyone’s faces. John told us that one of the best places he’d visited was Botswana and Joan told us that she loved Venice as it was “such a beautiful place”. Birgit said that she had lived in lots of different countries, but Norway was her favourite. Muriel said that she had been abroad in many different places but “Scotland is my favourite, especially around the Borders. The scenery is stunning”

We then chatted about where everyone had gone on their honeymoons – Muriel, Colin and Joan mentioned the Lake District, Cornwall and Scotland. John amazed us by saying he remembered taking his own car on his honeymoon to Spain by driving it through the nose of an aeroplane – apparently this was a very common thing to do!

Thank you to Jen for organising these sessions – they’re great fun and very lively!
