I couldn't believe the number of people who battled the strong winds, horizontal rain and thick mist to pop in and spend time with us. Some stayed all day; participating in all the activities and eventually leaving armed with free resource bags bulging with activity kits and the results of their creative efforts!
And it wasn't just the memory cafe members who came. Other home carers came with their partners, some with their families whilst members of the public popped in to find out what the cause of all the noise drifting out from the big hall and stayed to find out more. I think Flicker, our community donkey, also had something to do with attracting people through the door....he's a bit of a show-stopper!

The main hall buzzed with conversation and laughter |
This lovely couple came in the morning........stayed all day! |
We're now looking forward to meeting people at Launceston tomorrow and Eden Project on Saturday and having similarly wonderful days. If you're coming don't forget to bring the sunshine!
