Let it gooooo! ❄️🎵 David was so excited to meet Elsa and Anna this month.
Anyone who knows David knows that he adores his Elsa costume, and can be seen wearing it around the Sherwood Centre, so it was such a treat to meet the Ice Queen herself. 👑
Thanks to The Coal Bucket for having us! 💖

Back in the Garden! 🥒
Joanne's harvest has resulted in some fine cucumbers being grown.
We did have tomatoes too, but Gardening Lead Claire was too slow to take a photo before Jeremy decided to eat them 😁 🍅
Services also took part in a sunflower growing competition. Pictured is the Old Fire Station's sunflower entry, which won 2nd place!
Thank you to the Old Fire Station for donating the veg grown in its courtyard to the kitchen of our Whitegates respite service. 🥕
