Autumn Highlights May 2026 May brought two occasions that meant a great deal to us. We celebrated our dear Doreen’s 98th birthday, first over the weekend and then again with her family and all of us here gathered around her. Doreen, you are a joy and an inspiration to everyone who knows you, and we hope your celebrations were everything you deserved. We also welcomed Rev Catherine from St Stephen’s Anglican Church, assisted by Lyn from the Village, for a really beautiful service. We sang hymns together and enjoyed the fellowship, and for many of us these services offer something that lasts well beyond the hour: a sense of peace and spiritual grounding. We’re grateful to Rev Catherine and Lyn for the warmth they bring each time they visit. Alongside these special moments, our familiar rhythm carried on, with morning exercise, games and time spent together in our shared spaces. As autumn drew to a close, we were reminded that connection is found as much in the everyday as on the big occasions.
