We enjoyed a great team led event during the 2nd hour today, as sadly our booked entertainer Vikki was poorly. We wish her well.
The team came to the rescue with 15 minutes of cognitive action songs – Big Fish, Little Fish, Cardboard Box; The court of King Caractacus and the Music Man. We followed this with a playlist of popular songs from the 1960’s and 1970’s which got everyone singing along and joining in the dancing.
As we are agents for Playlist for Life and it was Playlist for Life day during this week, we invited members to each nominate a song that evoked a memory, and write it on a piece of bunting which we displayed in the room. Here is a small selection of tunes that bring back memories for group members. The memories evoked were as varied as the songs.
When Julian played The Locomotion there were no shortage of participants, including Kath, the manager of Shrewsbury House, seen with a striking necklace, who wanted to join in.

Introducing Tony. Tony is one of our 2 Activity Leads. He loves being active and is always happy to thrown himself into the activities of the day and have a chat during the first hour. He is very talented and made a Cornhole Game for the group which is popular. When the music starts you will find him on the dance floor.
The Reflections Friendship Group is next at Shrewsbury House on 30th September 2025 at 1pm when Scott Elvis will be in the building.
Please note: in our uploaded photos we blur the faces of all group members. You do see the faces of our wonderful volunteers.
