Community Happenings Summer
Pancakes and Memories Shrove Tuesday brought out the chefs in all of us, with residents getting busy in the kitchen cooking up a delicious batch of pancakes. More than just a tasty treat, it was a wonderful opportunity to socialise and share stories about cooking pancakes for our own families over the years. Simple activities like this one have a beautiful way of bringing people together and sparking the warmest of memories. Brush Strokes and Blue Water The new year kicked off on a beautifully creative note when local artist Heather visited us to lead a watercolour painting session. Our group were thoroughly engaged from the very first brushstroke, with many of us tapping into skills we hadn’t used in years. It turns out the talent was always there, just waiting for a reason to come back out. A couple of weeks later, we headed out for a well-deserved lunch by the water at Cafe 63 in Redcliffe. There is something about waterfront dining that lifts the spirits, and this outing had exactly that effect. Good food, beautiful surroundings, and great company made for an afternoon that none of us wanted to see end. The smiles said everything. G’day, Australia In the lead-up to Australia Day, Seabrae Manor buzzed with activity and a real sense of national pride. We rolled up our sleeves to make damper from scratch, filling the home with warmth and the wonderful smell of fresh cooking. We also got creative with brushes and paint, bringing Uluru to life on canvas in a meaningful nod to our country’s deep and extraordinary history. When Australia Day itself arrived, the celebrations continued in full swing with games, happy hour, Australian bingo, and trivia. It was a fun-filled weekend that had everyone joining in, and a heartfelt way to celebrate together as a community.
