🎶Oh we do like to be beside the seaside, 🎶oh we do like to be beside the sea…………….only we felt it was a bit too far to go so we brought the seaside to the centre! Surely ‘improvise’ should be our middle name!
Our members were met by our gang sunbathing at the Resort de Community Centre in Costa del Warboys. Bikinis were ironed, sun lotion applied and as always, the members were super-surprised by our crazy antics. One staff member wore her coconut bikini and another, her itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini.
Mini sandcastles were our first mission of the morning and then we made sand tray pictures - we certainly know how to be creative. Hazel and Jenny were judges and Peter won first prize, with Zoe coming a close second.
After some cakes, kindly provided by Sally for her birthday, we started our rock decorating and what a varied group of rocks we ended up with. Lunch today was cooked by Polly and Jenny. Of course no seaside visit could go without an ice-cream and Clare’s mum, provided all the members with a choc-ice. Thanks Keri!
Our entertainer, dressed in her Victorian style bathing suit, sung some ‘beachy’ tunes for us and up we got to dance, wiggle or even ride the merry-go round horses at one point…. thanks Singing Gardener. A couple of the guys even did some fishing and in true style, over-exaggerated the size of their catch. The day ended with our members receiving a gift of a pen each with an inspirational saying on it and of course, they had to have some sweet rock. We would like to say what a pleasure it was to meet some family members that joined their loved ones today and we’d also like to say a huge welcome back to our delightful Bernie, we sure did miss you.
