One to One Time
Sometimes, a little one-to-one time can mean so much. Simon wanted to hop on the bus into town, enjoy a coffee and treated to a lunch out in town. While out, Simon then asked if he could take a walk around St John’s Church, sharing his love and fascination for history along the way. Just a couple of hours doing the things he wanted to do brought Simon so much enjoyment and independence.

Knit and Natter - Community Club
Our lovely Knit & Natter ladies have been busy with their latest project. They’re creating a special display for Remembrance Day and have already knitted & crocheted over 150 poppies!
If you’re a keen knitter & are free on Monday mornings, why not come & join them? Our Knit & Natter group is open to the community, and we’d love to welcome some new faces!
Seated Pilates at Paternoster House
Our residents and family members joined Christine Hastings a local Pilates instructor, for a wonderful seated Pilates session last week! Many had never tried Pilates before, but thoroughly enjoyed giving something new a go. It was lovely to see everyone getting involved and having fun
Buon Prosecco Day!
Our already beautiful terrace and gardens was transformed for National Prosecco Day, with lemons and bunting dressing the tables and the sun out for the whole afternoon. Head chef Suraj had the pizza oven going from morning until late afternoon, sending out fresh stone-baked pizzas one after another alongside a proper homemade lasagne, all made from scratch on site.
Residents and guests enjoyed a true taste of Italy, with tiramisu and gelato to finish, and a steady stream of prosecco from our very own Prosecco Wall.
It's days like this, full of good food and smiles, that show what community at Rose Water Place is really about.
Upcycling
We've started a new upcycling project here at Parley Place, residents have an item they are currently working on, we can't wait to see the finished piece and hear about the fun they've had!
A Step Back in Time
Mr Whippy??
Residents and staff had a fabulous afternoon fuelled by traditional whippy ice creams from local ice cream man Norman. Thank you Norman for stopping by!
National Prosecco Day!
A wonderful evening was had in the Castle View Cafe at Whitewater Place as we celebrated National Prosecco Day with a bar service and cheese buffet! A few games of scrabble and lots of laughter made for a great time for both residents and staff.
