Last Friday, residents at both The Grange and Lyndhurst enjoyed a truly special treat—a visit from George and Daisy, the donkeys! These charming visitors didn’t just come for cuddles; they also delivered poppies to our residents, helping us prepare for the upcoming Remembrance Weekend.
The donkeys were a big hit, bringing smiles to everyone they met. Residents enjoyed stroking them, sharing stories, and even sneaking them the odd carrot or apple 🥕🍎. As a thank-you, we treated George and Daisy to a well-earned snack, while the lovely ladies who brought them received a box of chocolates as a token of our gratitude for their time and effort.
These visits brought so much joy and gave us all the chance to pause, connect, and reflect ahead of Remembrance Sunday. At both The Grange and Lyndhurst, we cherish opportunities like this to make meaningful memories and brighten everyone’s day.
A huge thank you to all involved in organising such a delightful afternoon—we hope George and Daisy enjoyed their visit as much as we did!
