It
was great to see how many of our friends had joined us on a chilly January
afternoon but Crantock Village Hall was feeling warm and cosy as everyone
settled in for a chat or to have a look at a puzzle, quiz or the latest copy of
‘Sparkle’ magazine.
Music
is always popular with visitors to the cafe and we are fortunate to have a
number of musical entertainers who visit us regularly. However, new musical
entertainment is always welcome and for our second cafe in January we were delighted
to meet Emma Peck representing a country-wide charity called ‘Goldies’. Emma led us in a ‘sing and
smile’ session, which did just that, giving everyone a chance to join in with
familiar songs from across the years. Emma gave out booklets with all the
lyrics and we were soon singing along with Doris Day, Lonnie Donegan, Cilla
Black, Elvis and many other favourites. In the end most were on their feet
enjoying a dance, which was great fun!
By
three o’clock we were all ready for a cup of tea and some refreshments which,
on this occasion were augmented by some tasty cakes brought along by Brenda
from Wiltshire Farm Foods, a company which can provide home-delivered meals.
After
tea Joan led us in a game of ‘Dog Bingo’ which was enjoyed by all – especially
as chocolates were distributed to those with a ‘line’ or a ‘full house’.
There
was just time for Richard to run through the answers to the quiz before it was
time to pack up and say farewell to friends, knowing that we would be meeting
up again on February 4th at Crantock Village Hall from 2pm – 4pm. Anyone who
has a degree of memory loss, is always welcome to come along with their carers.
