On Monday 31st. May Spring bank holiday it was a glorious day so after chair-based exercises in the morning and a  sing-a-long first liners quiz, we spent the afternoon in the garden. Here we had a lovely virtual trip to theatre land to listen to the music of and reminisce about our favourite musicals!
