Happy valentines.....

Jenny and Roy arranged a lovely tea party in the lounge on Tuesday to celebrate valentines this week.  Jenny made some heart shaped cakes, sandwiches, sausage rolls and cheese straws- we had romantic music, lots of  visitors and fun. Many thanks jenny and Roy

Spring is sprung

No keep fit this week (sues on holiday) so we arranged a walk in the grounds for anyone who wanted to!  Peggy, David and Anne were the only willing participants ....we admired the gardens, picked some spring flowers and listened to the birdsong in the trees.

Goodbye January

Remembering dear lucille

A week ago today it was Lucilles funeral at the village church at penshurst. Lovely service for a very special lady.  Seems strange her not being around, she always had

a cheery word and positive outlook on life!

Lovely day celebrating Joan's birthday today - her family came along in the afternoon and Derek the pianist was on form to turn afternoon tea into a party!!

A talk by Dennis Penfold

A bit of social history brought to MEH by mr Penfold today in the form of an illustrated talk about the Rusthall VAD Hospital.  

Guest of honour was patty as she remembers it well and used to be taken along in her pushchair by her mother who worked there!  Bearing in mind patty is now in her 101st year it is amazing what memories she has of that time ....

Standing room only!!

Collage fun

With jenny today back after the  Xmas break ... We decided to start a collage to decorate the hallway ....jenny supplied the homemade cake and we had a jolly time.  When it's finished we will of course display our masterpiece!

And these are the results ...
