SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The New Year started and we had
to say goodbye to two of our
entertainers, Kevin Jacot (pianist) and Alan Briant (accordionist). We
still have our singer Victor Munro
and Gill from Music for Health, as
well as various church visits and our P.A.T. dogs Molly and Monty.
P.A.T. Dogs Molly and Monty visited
the Home
Jonti with Marie – Tilford Park’s
entertainer at our New Year Party
Due to the snow in December our
Christmas Party became a New Year Party. A big thank you to all of
you that came and made it the
success it was. An even bigger
thank you to all of you who gave
so generously to our raffle, the amount raised will go in to our
amenity fund.
The snow did not stop Santa from delivering presents!
In December we spent time making
Christmas decorations and decorating our Christmas trees.
Over the past few months we have had
visits from the Farnham 1st’s Girls Brigade and Bordon Junior School (see
picture below) who sang carols to all of
us.
EASTER SUNDAY
24 April 2011
An Easter Blessing Bless this day the joy of life,
The revelation of the flesh,
The paradise of man and wife
Joined to share the gift of bliss.
Bless this day the pain of life,
The passion that redeems the flesh,
The love between a man and wife
Beyond all agony and bliss.
Bless this day the end of life,
The peace within the dying flesh,
The bond between a man and wife
That long outlasts their bit of bliss.
Bless this day the whole of life,
The grace of being more than flesh,
The voyage of a man and wife,
Across the mystery of bliss.
MOTHERING SUNDAY
3rd April 2011 The equivalent of Mothers Day in other
countries, is Mothering Sunday in UK. Since the 16th century is has been
celebrated on the fourth Sunday in Lent. It always has been the day to thank our
mothers for all the things they do for us.
Keep an eye on the notice board for activities we are holding for both Easter
and Mothering Sunday.

A Sonnet for My Incomparable Mother
By Joanna Fuchs
I often contemplate my childhood, Mum.
I am a mother now, and so I know, Hard work is mixed together with the fun; You learned that when
you raised me long ago.
I think of all the things you gave to me: Sacrifice, devotion, love and tears,
Your heart, your mind, your energy and soul - All these you spent
on me throughout the years.
You loved me with a never-failing love
You gave me strength and sweet security, And then you did the
hardest thing of all:
You let me separate and set me free.
Every day, I try my best to be,
A mother like the mum you were to me.
