OSJCT Moments
This strange time we are living in has been tough on everyone. And while ‘normal’ may be different for now… We are still laughing. We are still singing. We are still dancing. Here are some of the inspired moments of joy our residents, teams and communities have been enjoying.
Strawberry picking
Ashwood Care Centre resident, Joan Foster with Activities Co-ordinator, Natalie Fletcher, did a little bit of food tasting from the garden. Joan said: “When I was a little girl, we use to call it, scrumping” which Natalie replied: “Let’s call it food tasting, it sounds better!”. As far as I am aware, Joan has just eaten the first of the crop of strawberries that we are hoping to come our way this summer. Don’t worry we did wash them first.

Ted flies high!
Ted lives at Oxlip House and he often enjoys sitting on his balcony watching the planes from the local airfield. For his 90th Birthday his family arranged for him to have a flight from Bury St Edmunds to Sudbury where he used to live. Ted was also lucky enough to be given the opportunity to fly the plane himself!
Jenny’s garden
Jenny, a resident at Whitefriars recently told Donna, the Activities Co-ordinator that she missed her garden and vegetable plot at home in Sheffield. So, together they created Jenny’s own little herb garden that she can tend to daily.
