Life at Newton House Care Home
Getting Halloween Ready!
What a beautiful day for a bus trip out to pick our very pumpkins ready for Halloween
Residents had a fabulous time, from choosing their pumpkins, walking around the farm, conker picking, followed by a delicious hot drink and chat.
They enjoyed taking in the scenery whilst pouring their loose tea with the strainers.
Whilst having refreshments we sat and discussed how much they thought the pumpkins would cost:
Mr C said £4.50 for 3, Mrs T 45p, Mr D 40p and Mr B 47p. They were totally surprised at today’s cost of £4 per pumpkin
A wonderful morning had by all
This afternoon we shall be carving the pumpkins and enjoying some spooky Halloween arts & crafts
100 hours outside with Kesteven Rideability
A glorious day for a visit to see our wonderful friends and horses at Hough on the Hill
The sun was shining and the laughter was flowing whilst enjoying some delicious home baked cakes and refreshments.
Residents loved seeing the beautiful Rio and giving him lots of cuddles, and also had a surprise visit from Rudy the Labrador
Karen, Liz and the amazing Kesteven Rideability volunteers always make us feel exceptionally welcome and share with our residents a wealth of knowledge about the beautiful horses, and answer any questions that they have.
We are so grateful to them all and we are already looking forward to our next visit
