Our
July get-together was, as they say ‘a game of two halves’! When members had
settled in and had a refreshing cup of tea, we talked of gardening and last
month’s visit to David and Brenda Eyles’ wonderful garden at West Pentire.
Members recollected gardens of their childhood, compared favourite flowers and
their associated memories, and discussed
methods of vegetable gardening and their current gardens. All this was
accompanied by a quiz about flowers in songs, which inevitably led to a bit of
singing!
Whilst
tea was being prepared by our indispensible volunteers in the kitchen, members
were able to stretch their legs and have ten minutes of gentle (sitting down!)
exercise. You could easily pick out members who had hand-jiving experience!
Following
refreshments we moved on to a ‘Summer Holiday’ theme and with the aid of
photographs, posters, holiday brochures and postcards, not to mention the
sandcastle table decorations, we spent a pleasant hour talking of journeys,
picnics, holiday clothes and much more – the memories came flooding back. Once
again, music played a part and we all enjoyed singing along with Cliff Richard,
Morecambe and Wise and Max Bygraves – can you guess which songs we sang?

Our
Memory Cafe meets on the first Monday of each month from 2pm – 4pm in Crantock
Village Hall. We aim to provide a friendly, relaxed social afternoon for those
suffering from memory loss, and their carers. We welcome members from Crantock,
Cubert, Newlyn East and all surrounding areas. The cafe is free, although
donations are welcomed towards our expenses.
