We are really enjoying the wonderful gardens at Woodlands for walks, games, activities or just sitting and court yard in this lovely warm weather we are having. On a very sunny Easter Monday we were able to enjoy garden walks and board games.

On Friday 17th we had a ‘Fruity Friday’ with an all-day fruit theme.
We had a fruit themed quiz and learnt fascinating facts about fruits during the morning. In the afternoon we sampled a range of fruits from melon to mango, blueberries to bananas. This was followed by a variety of mystery fruit smoothies in like strawberry/banana and spinach/banana. Surprisingly! We really liked the spinach/banana one best.

Anne particularly enjoyed the strawberries.
Ken enjoyed all the fruits including the cherry tomatoes.
