The care home for us! Really impressed with the one I have chosen for Mum.
Nice place and staff and....they have one of the sitting rooms decorated and furnished as a 50s/60s room.....okay I know you are much younger than me but they will update.
I asked the manager what sort of music they played for get togethers in this room.....If I'm on duty...he replied...it's The Beatles...but whatever takes your fancy.
Heavy metal...Luke Kelly....Rod Stewart?........
Of course...he said....though I am having trouble stopping two very elderly ladies who come in to help playing war time songs....Don't people realise that the people coming in here now were once teddy boys, mods and rockers.
Lord...I felt old.
He asked me to come and look at the pictures on corridor walls.....I remember the days when I would have been asked to look at etchings...Ah well.
Elvis...Beatles...Stones...Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn in a draught.
Such a change from the twee ones I have seen elsewhere...
So I have put our names down.....first floor...sharing.....okay? ☺x
If you are coming down here don't forget to let me know. Struggling with kitchen fitters ,mess and dust at present. (Why does everything take twice as long as they promise) Could do with a good laugh.
Practicing, Tony? Thought you had it off pat......;-)
Giveup...I am heading down to Honiton in a couple of weeks...will let you know when....The daughter called tonight...with a list of things she needs help with....from plumbing to gardening so I shall need a break! x
