This afternoon Vicky set up a reminiscence interest table in the dining room, got out war time songs word searches, Old Marks and Spenser’s catalogue pages and reminiscence books. Vicky put on an active mind’s reminiscence DVD which was called work and leisure and was full of pictures and sounds from the working day and leisure in days of old. We went to the table in two’s and had a look at the artefacts and then Vicky brought a few bits around the lounge for us to look at and discuss. To finish with, Vicky put on an old TV programme on YouTUbe for us called Small wonders, which we really enjoyed and were laughing at. We are extremely grateful for the old artefacts that have been donated, including an old bar of Coletar soap, which many of our residents recognised by its smell.
