Autumn
was in the air as visitors arrived for our second October cafe. Our guests were greeted by an atmospheric
display of seasonal colours in leaves, nuts, berries and fruits, along with
lovely books, illustrations and features such as corn dollies and pumpkins to
re-awaken memories of Autumn past and present – there was even a squirrel and a
hedgehog!
Our
entertainers for the afternoon were the 'Kelsey Singers', and puzzles on the
tables reflected both aspects of our afternoon with a word grid based around
the letters of ‘harvest’ and a wordsearch using words from some of the Kelsey
Singers’ songs! David welcomed the singers and we were soon enjoying a wide
range of songs, old and new, interspersed with some amusing jokes and Cornish
readings. A delightful piano solo and a tuneful rendition by one of the
gentlemen in the choir added to a very enjoyable performance. The choir gave us
plenty of opportunities to join in with familiar songs and the challenge to
count the number of films included in an amusing number called ‘Usherette
Blues’ (there were 25!).
A
break for afternoon tea gave everyone the chance to stretch their legs, chat,
complete the puzzles and have a closer look at the display, before it was ‘eyes
down’ for a traditional game of bingo.
Altogether it was a very relaxed and enjoyable afternoon which put
smiles on everyone’s faces.
We
look forward to meeting up again in two weeks times on November 4th
at Crantock Village Hall from 2pm – 4pm. New members with their carers are
always welcome, and should you require further information please contact Di on
