... About 13 of us ended up going to Lytton Gardens, where 500 elderly people of all shapes and sizes are housed. We were to hang with them, make craft, and chat!
Firstly, I saw they had a piano! So at the first opportunity, whilst everyone was doing arts and crafts, I began playing (and I was getting ready to sing too!) when the staff informed me that background noise made it hard for them to hear what anyone else was saying ... whoops!
So I sat down next to Jenny (Hullo, Jenny) (sorry, obscure Forrest Gump reference) and began to do some arts and crafts. After having "glue issues" for a few minutes, I managed to start work on a butterfly thermometer thingy ...
... and then, with the remaining few minutes, I concocted a farmer/scarecrow/fridge magnet...
... by this time I was fairly impressed with myself! (I can dance too!)
Then, quite randomly, they asked us to debate about Stem Cell Research with some of the elderly who had come along for a thought provoking lunch?! That was random ...
Overall, a great day!
Blessings
