We would like to say a huge thank you to Strathaven Argos for donating a variety of gardening and healthy eating equipment for our residents. We hugely appreciate this wonderful gesture and would like to say a big thank you to the ladies at Strathaven Argos for their kindness in nominating us.
The residents were eager to use the new equipment straight away so with a team effort we had the Chairmen himself not afraid to get his hands dirty, assembling and filling the new planters under the guidance and watchful eye of the residents.
Thank you to Jackie and Eric Rice for performing for the residents on Thursday 27th June. Jackie and Eric are an old favorite of the residents having regularly entertained at Abbeyfield over the past few years each time getting better and better.
We would like to say a big thank you to Strathaven & District Pipe Band for giving our residents a special performance on Thursday evening. Many of our residents struggle to attend the Gala events due to mobility issues so it always makes it extra special for them that the Pipe Band go out of their way to perform specially for them in the garden as part of their warm up.The residents always look forward to the annual Pipe Band night and it was brilliant to see the look on some of the newer residents faces as they experienced it for the first time. All in all it was a great evening and we cannot thank Strathaven & District Pipe Band enough for making it such a special night.
A huge thank you to harpist Pauline Vallance who entertained the residents on Thursday afternoon. Pauline is an exceptional harpist who we have had the pleasure of welcoming into Abbeyfield to play numerous times before. Our residents always comment on how beautiful she plays, the variety and how soothing and relaxing it feels, along with the ambience and atmosphere of the lounge. Pauline was then invited to stay and have a cup of tea and a chat with the residents and house volunteers, overall it was a brilliant afternoon
Thank you to our guest speaker John Walker who entertained the residents with his stories regarding the 5 spies of Cambridge. The residents thoroughly enjoyed hearing all the old war time stories and reminiscing about their own experiences of the time as many still remembered some of the events in question.
A huge thank you to Strathaven Argos who kindly donated some fantastic new kitchen equipment to us this afternoon. Your generosity is greatly appreciated by all our staff and residents.
