Hello Boys and Girls,

Another great afternoon of socializing, sharing food together and learning new skills from one another.

Unfortunately we do not have a great deal of photos. But there was a lot going on today including Jennifer's Art Class. Some very colourful work was created using a beautiful rich orange colour for the background of the paintings. Hopefully we will have a small art display with some of todays work on show at the TOG Christmas party on the 9th December.

The Poetry Group this week included Gloria, Sian, Milton, James and Vernon. They retreated to a quiet corner in Reception. The main hall is far too busy and is not the ideal place to read poetry.

Marilyn's Table always attracts a number of people eager to make a piece of jewellery to take home. She has managed to accumulate a large collection of beads. Every item is unique. We have a few Christmas pieces that will also possibly be on display on the 9th December.

Hema was in charge of the Craft Table today.

We needed some Christmas decorations for the tables. I rummaged in my store of bits and bobs and remembered a lucky find. Primark had a summer clearout a while back and I found ten very uninteresting holders for tea lights ( Only 10 pence each, can you believe it!!!! ).

Well Hema and her team really came up trumps making these bland items into sparkling little table decorations. We will definately be using these at the party.

Another picture of a Christmas craft from two weeks ago.

We have really enjoyed making all these lovely Christmas decorations over the last few weeks. Thank you to all those who took part we couldn't have done them without your help.

Sadly Angie was unable to take 'Dance & Exercise' today but hopefully she will return in the New Year. After far too much Christmas Fayre I guess we will all be joining her to shed a pound or two.

Back on the 9th of December with ' Christmas TOG '
