May has arrived and with it the sunshine. It has been wonderful to be able to spend time in the garden. Our indoor hobbies have become outdoor pursuits and it feels great to be able to feel the sun on our faces.

We all look forward to spring, it is a time of new beginnings, flowers start to bloom, blossom covered trees provide a picturesque vista and there is a feeling of joy in the air.

We celebrated the arrival of this magical month with a party, we do enjoy a party in fact I’ve never been to so many parties. The room had, as ever been expertly decorated by the lifestyle team, it was a sea of pink, pink flowers, pink bunting, pink food, and pink cocktails. It was so pretty.

We had a wonderful time, singing and dancing, reminiscing about summers past and looking forward to this year, the trips we wish to take and the garden parties we have planned. Everyone was in high spirits, and we all got sillier as the cocktails flowed.

It will never cease to amaze me just how creative the lifestyle team is, I don’t know how they think up so many fun activities but I’m very glad that they do.
