Every day, we are wowed by the talent that runs through our community.
Helen's pastel work is no exception. She's been trying them in our Arts and Crafts Workshop, working with the colours and smudging the pastels to create an excellent background for her bird and flowers, which she had previously drawn with felt tips. Well done, Helen!

Our resident, Jaye, has been working on his wall hanging in our Art & Craft Workshop for six months. It features his likes and dislikes. He designed all the patches, hand-sewed them, and even helped staff sew them together with the sewing machine! Brilliant work, Jaye!

We hosted our very own Wassail celebration this week, organised by our Music and Theatre Workshop. The Wassail tradition involves music, toast, and spiced apple juice (or cider). It respects the โKing Treeโ in this traditional ceremony to awaken the orchard and encourage a bumper crop of apples for the coming year.
For our Camphill MK Wassail, we had a horse, Dobbin, made by the Backstage Workshop, which led the procession. The Bean King and Pea Queen followed, and our Music Group made wonderful music to encourage spring.

Check out Traceyโs lovely ladybird drawing! ๐ She was inspired by the hibernating ladybirds in our apple trees and drew them beautifully. Nice work, Tracey!

Last week started extremely cold, so our Gardens team spent some time planning for our future Sensory Area. We also fitted a pond liner to the pond and filled it with water. When it has settled, we can trim the liner and add an attractive edge.
Owen and Ben have been learning some tractor maintenance skills.
Our stepover apples are now planted. Over the next few years, they will need to be trained to grow along the wire rather than straight up.
We have created a proper path around the herb garden that integrates the garden with the new willow arbour installed by the Arts and Crafts Team.

We're delighted that our contractors, @watsonandcox received an 'excellent' score in the ambitious Considerate Constructors Scheme for our accessible homes project.
The inspection celebrated the neighbours' consideration of noise levels, construction traffic management to minimise disruption, and their understanding of and communication adaptation to engage with individuals with learning disabilities.

In our Textiles Workshop, our residents Alex, Ali, Tamsin and Chloe have been practising their sewing machine skills by following lines on paper. ๐ ๐
It's not as easy as it looks, so we're very impressed with their abilities and perseverance.
