Martins House

We had a wonderful morning of fun and laughter at Martins House as we welcomed the Stevenage Family Volunteering Club to spend time with our wonderful residents 💜

There was even a special guest appearance from Miles Fraser from The Fraser Circus Company, who wowed everyone with his amazing circus skills. From juggling plates and hoops to colourful scarves, feathers and hats, there was something new to see at every turn! 🎪

A huge thank you to Kirstie and the Stevenage Family Volunteering Group for joining us and creating such a memorable morning for our residents 😊

There was a lovely atmosphere in the garden at Martins House as our wonderful residents enjoyed an afternoon of bowling, tea and cake 🎳☀️

🍋🌹 Lovely moments at Martins House !

Our wonderful residents enjoyed a lovely afternoon of baking and gardening. Everyone got involved making a lemon drizzle cake, mixing, whisking and sharing plenty of smiles along the way 🍰

Linda also enjoyed some peaceful time in the garden, admiring the roses in bloom, listening to the birds and reminiscing about the beautiful pink roses she grew up with. A lovely afternoon filled with happy memories and simple pleasures 💜

A little creativity was blooming at Martins House as our wonderful residents enjoyed a lovely flower arranging session 🌸💜

Everyone had the chance to choose from a beautiful selection of flowers, including roses, carnations, chrysanthemums and delicate gypsophilia, creating their own unique arrangements to take pride in.

It was a wonderful afternoon spent chatting, sharing ideas and enjoying the simple pleasure of working with flowers. There were lots of beautiful bouquets made and plenty of happy smiles along the way 😊

A little Wimbledon throwback from Martins House 🎾💜

While enjoying the excitement of the tournament, our wonderful residents got involved with a game of tennis bingo as they watched the action unfold on screen. The ladies were busy keeping an eye on every point, marking off their cards and celebrating each little win along the way.

It was a brilliant way to enjoy the Wimbledon atmosphere together. A perfect match of tennis, teamwork and fun 😊

It has been a busy month for birthdays here at Martins House , and we have loved celebrating with some very special people! 🎂💜

A huge happy birthday to Paula, George, Brian, Irene and Hilda, who have all celebrated their birthdays in July. It was lovely to see everyone enjoying their birthday cakes, making a wish and blowing out their candles. We hope each of you had a wonderful day surrounded by friends and plenty of birthday cheer 🎉

Our wonderful residents have been putting their dancing shoes on at Martins House as they learnt the cha cha cha during this week's ballroom dancing session 💃🎶

There was lots of concentration while everyone picked up the routine, followed by plenty of smiles as they put their new moves into practice. It was wonderful to see everyone giving it a go and enjoying themselves together 💜

Creativity was flowing at Martins House as our amazing residents got stuck into making their own colourful mosaic tile coasters. 🎨💜

Everyone enjoyed choosing their glass tiles and creating a design of their own. No two coasters were the same, and it was great to see each of our resident's finished piece come together. They all did a fantastic job! 😊

Francis, Margaret, Joan and Jean are all keen bird watchers, so they were delighted to help refill the bird feeders in the garden at Martins House 🐦💜

They love watching the birds visit the feeders and stop for a drink at the water fountain, so it was a pleasure to lend a hand and make sure their feathered friends were well looked after. It's wonderful to have so much nature to enjoy right on our doorstep, and our garden always has something new to see 🌿😊
