Garden House Rest House

✨ Old Sayings, Big Smiles! ✨

Our residents had great fun this week putting their memories to the test by matching up classic old sayings. 🧩💭

From “A stitch in time…” to ”…saves nine” and “Don’t count your chickens…” to ”…before they hatch,” there was plenty of laughter, reminiscing, and a little friendly competition along the way.

Activities like these are a wonderful way to encourage conversation, stimulate memory, and share stories from years gone by. ❤️

Well done to everyone who took part – you certainly know your sayings! 👏😊

🌊☀️ Jan’s Reminiscing Session – A Trip to the Seaside! ☀️🌊

Today at Garden House, Ruth led a wonderful reminiscing session all about beach holidays and swimwear from years gone by. 🏖️👒👙

Residents shared fond memories of family trips to the seaside, paddling in the sea, building sandcastles, and the swimwear they wore in their younger days – from knitted bathing costumes and swimming caps to stylish sun hats and sunglasses! 🌊🐚

There were plenty of smiles, laughter, and stories as everyone took a trip down memory lane and remembered the joys of summers by the sea. 💙

Thank you, Jan for another fantastic session that sparked so many happy memories and conversations. 🥰
