Scarecrow Competition

We had some good days out to catch the scenery in the sunshine, which culminated in some tea and cake when we visited Watchet Harbour and Stogumber Station to see various steam and diesel trains.

It was great to see a variety of musicians. The Ukulele Band came from Stogursey and gave us a very cheerful selection of songs in the garden. David came from Watchet and sung us some sea shanties and told us all the details about his new town crier's outfit. Simon arrived in his Western outfit and guitar to sing country songs and Andy gave us a great selection of sing-along songs on his guitar. Our resident pianist Roger also kindly played some sing-along songs one morning and Jan gave us a lovely church service.

We had Nick and his dog Laddie visit again, Nick came with another old sports car and then later a 1926 Austin Campervan which was very interesting to see and to hear about its history, how they have changed since then.

We took part in the scarecrow competition, with our entry being a speedy resident with his zimmer, it was challenging but we were pleased with the result, it was also a challenge to put him up to withstand the storm.

Not much is happening in the garden, but the residents are making plans and have sowed some bulbs.

Our usual games, quizzes and activities continued throughout the month.
