Many of the residents at Tewkesbury Fields enjoy listening to and reading Poetry. This week we attended a monthly community group at Tewkesbury Library to "Share a poem".Residents selected Poems of their choice to share with the group and read the poems beautifully, the choice was very varied.We listened to poems from Rudyard Kipling, James Milton Hayes, Spike Milligan and Pam Ayres . Our resident ambassador Jack shared with us some of his own poetry from one of his books that he had published.We look forward to the next visit and also sharing some live readings with everyone.

The ladies at Tewkesbury Fields have had a fabulous time this afternoon, travelling all the way back to the fashion in the 1960s. In the 1960's many ladies used to make their own clothing for themselves and their children. Sandra, from Charmworth miniatures has such a wonderful miniatures fashion collection through the decades! Some ladies even enjoyed trying some hats on, including Mary Quant style. Overall, we've had a fantastic afternoon reminiscing and sharing stories together.

Never too early for Autumn crafts.We enjoy planning our weekly craft club and our residents embrace new ideas and techniques. This week we enjoyed making the first Autumn themed wreath to start displaying around the home.  It looked stunning in the fire place in our Bushley lounge. 

We love our weekly Baking Club at Tewkesbury Fields, this week we baked and iced vanilla cup cakes.  Some residents prefer to chat and observe that we are following the recipe correctly. We measured, reminisced and mixed the ingredient the old fashion way!  They tasted and looked superb with our afternoon cup of tea.
