Baking Bread
Residents at Cheverton Lodge enjoyed making bread with the activities team, using the bread making machine. These facilities are very important to the home because some ladies were keen bakers and enjoyed baking for their families in the past. The home was filled with wonderful baking smells and residents are looking forward to sampling the bread this afternoon and comparing it to shop bought bread.
