Snow

2010 has certainly started on a cold note, with widespread snow and ice covering the counyt.

Whilst it does cause difficulties with travel etc the views make up for the inconvenience, as you can see from this picture our new garden looks amazing whatever the weather.

Red Belt

Everyone at The Willows would like to congratulate Sheriff on achieving his red belt at kickboxing.

Sheriff has remained focused on his kickboxing since he started training some time ago now and his commitment has paid off.

Well done!

A sad farewell

Today is the last day for Karen working for Exalon Care Homes and she came back to where she started here at The Willows.

There have been tears and sadness but also very fond memories for Karen, staff and all service users.

We truly wish her well in her new role and we will all miss her very much.

Although we will sad to see Karen go we wish her every success in her new position and know that she will be an asset to her new company.

65 and still going strong!

Colin has now turned 65 and celebrated in style with a party at the local hall.

The staff worked really hard to make the party a success and a great night was had by all.

Shearwater

Saturday was a chilly day but Christine, Kurt and Jamie went for a walk around Shearwater with staff and then on for a warming cuppa!

Christine is here looking all wrapped up and very happy.

Slimmer

Kurt has decided he wants to lose a few pounds so he has now registered with the local slimming club in Warminster.

Kurt is supported by a member of the staff team who is also following the diet so they can both keep an eye on each other and track their progress.

Here is Kurt at his first session looking very pleased with his decision.
