As
usual, there was a ‘double bill’ of entertainment and interest for visitors to
our Memory Café on March 5th. Firstly we welcomed Graham Kemp and
his ‘Drums4Fun’ who joined us for a return visit. There was an extended variety
of percussion instruments for us to try and after some careful listening to
different sounds and rhythms everyone enjoyed joining in a ‘practical drumming
fiesta’ and had a go at a music-based quiz!
The session ended appropriately
with ‘Trelawney’ and a rousing ‘Oggy, oggy, oggy!- it was apparent that
everyone had a good time.’
It
was great fun and by teatime we were all gasping for a cup of tea to accompany
the usual delicious refreshments. There was a surprise in store today, as the
special date hadn't escaped our notice – St. Piran’s Day!
Thanks to our friends
at Crantock Bakery there were Cornish pasties for everyone along with saffron
cake, as well as the usual delicious homemade biscuits and cakes. As a medley
of Cornish tunes played in the background we all ‘tucked in’ and then enjoyed
the chance to have a look at our Cornish display, which included a selection of
books, photos, flags, Cornish tartan, Newlyn copper and much more!
After
tea there was a variety of Cornish picture quizzes to tackle and a ‘Cornish
Saints’ word-search to puzzle over, as well as time for a chat.
It
was certainly a St Piran’s Day to remember, as well as a great opportunity to
get out of the house after the cold and snowy weather of the previous week.
We look
forward to meeting up again from 2pm – 4pm on March 19th at Crantock Village
Hall. New members, who have a degree of memory loss, are always welcome to come
along with their carers, and should you require more information please contact
Di on 01637 830544 or Joan on 01637 831347
