tuesday outing

there was no keep fit today - Sue was away - so residents spent the morning reading the papers, listening to music, or doing their own thing. lots of visitors today and quite a few lucky people being taken out to lunch. Meanwhile, Chef Paul prepared spaghetti bolognese and garlic bread for the others.

after lunch, those who retired to the lounge watched a dvd (ladies in lavender) which is a lovely film starring maggie smith.

We had arranged an outing for the afternoon and at 3pm set off for the town of Paddock Wood, where there is a super department store called Barsley's which sells (almost) everything. The ladies went off to look around and we agreed to meet up later for coffee. a new costa coffee opened in paddock wood recently, so we sat outside at tables and chairs with our latte's and cappucinos, enjoying the sunshine and watching the world go by.

marion went off to explore the local ironmongers for a letter opener, Dymphna went to the library to order a book and Lucille popped to the florists. Marie went off to the chemists with a list of things to buy for other residents who decided not to come out! By the time we met up again, the coffee was finished and it was time to get back on the mini bus for the trip home.
