A lovely afternoon spent at Riverhill Himalayan Gardens!
We were also delighted to be joined by a resident’s wife and their lovely dog.
Whilst enjoying our drinks from Malabar, we chatted about previous jobs, favourite trips and the dogs we’ve owned over the years.
It was a lovely afternoon filled with good company, happy memories and good conversation.
Kernow House Days Out
We enjoy going out and having a good time and this is exactly what happened when we went to Bowden Derra at The Park Fun Day.
There was lots to do, treats to eat, singing and dancing, but mostly, we enjoyed the sunshine and great company. It is so fantastic to be able to attend a local community event, have a bike ride with Cycling Without Age, eat blue ice cream and dance with a shark! We didn’t expect that, but it was a really wonderful afternoon.
A Right Royal Visit to Romsey Abbey ......
This week we visited Romsey Abbey to see the beautiful new bronze statue of Queen Elizabeth II created by Hampshire sculptor Amy Goodman.
We then spent time exploring the abbey and, as an extra treat, we got to enjoy music by talented soprano Iris Lam & pianist Rob Taylor as they rehearsed for their lunchtime recital.
A truly special morning filled with history, music and a little royal magic!
Meeting the local PCSO
Dog Agility Display
Residents recently enjoyed a fantastic dog agility display, watching talented dogs weave through obstacles, race through tunnels and jump hurdles. The visit from Tail-spin Training & Pawsitive Canine brought plenty of smiles, laughter and happy memories, making it a wonderful afternoon for everyone involved.

And They Call It.. Puppy Love!
Puppy love was definitely in the air!
Our residents were delighted to welcome the beautiful puppies from Lucy’s Pomeranians. Their tiny paws, fluffy coats and adorable personalities brought plenty of smiles and cuddles. They were simply irresistible, even our General Manager, Jane, couldn’t resist stopping for a little puppy cuddle!
Donna's Diddy Darlings
We were delighted to welcome Donna’s Diddy Darlings and her wonderful therapy ponies for a very special visit.
Their gentle nature and calm presence brought so many smiles, laughter and memorable moments throughout the day. Everyone enjoyed the opportunity to spend time with the ponies, creating some lovely interactions and experiences that will be remembered fondly.
It was a truly heart-warming visit, and we are so grateful to Donna and her therapy ponies for bringing so much joy to everyone. We look forward to welcoming them back again in the future.
