Tuesday 1st to Thursday 10th June

1st to 7th June – National Volunteers’ Week, a week dedicated to thanking all volunteers for their time, energy, commitment, values and skills.

Thank you Ward 7F 😍

I am looking forward to the time when I am allowed to come back and visit the patients on the ward.

I had an enjoyable trip to Blenheim Palace at the weekend. Just from simply deciding to walk around the grounds of the Palace a different way to usual, meant that we got to see some different views which was a nice change.

And we found the Secret Garden! 😱

“The Secret Garden at Blenheim Palace used to be the private garden of the 10th Duke of Marlborough, the present Duke’s father. This beautiful garden had fallen into disuse but has been recently restored.”

It was lovely in the Secret Garden. There were so many different types of plants to see.

A nice, warm and sunny afternoon! ☀️

Saturday 22nd to Monday 31st May

It has been almost two years since Hook Norton Brewery have been able to use their Shire horses for deliveries (thanks to Covid). They are one of only 3 breweries in the UK that still use the Shire horse for their deliveries. They usually deliver to the pubs in Hook Norton every week.

The Shire horse is one of three native British breeds of heavy working horse – Shire, Clydesdale and Suffolk Punch – and has, since the Second World War, declined in numbers so dramatically that they are now reputedly rarer than the Giant Panda.
