This week at Croft House we received some letters from the children at Flushdyke School to our residents. The letters were wishing them well and to keep safe. There were four letters from different children of all ages telling our residents how they were still at school because their parents were important key workers and were helping people during this uncertain time.

We where then taken to a stable where there were baby lambs and Jean the farmer told us all about the lambing and how the ewes look after the babies.

Rosedale Care Home in Catterick Garrison have been looking at new ideas of things to do in the home during this period of lockdown and one of the great ideas we had was to hold a weekly coffee morning. We held our first one in March and our residents had a fabulous time.  We started off with an introduction to ourselves and how old we were in 1974 as this was the year we decided to talk about, what job we had and memories from this year.  Everyone had such great stories and one of our residents had been a miner down the pit in Bishop Auckland working with the Pit Ponies and t
