Fabulous walk today at the Islands, such a good laugh, everyone was in great form. And along the way some unusual trees, a dinosaur & a silver sun. What more could you ask for?? 😊

Today we went to see Brandon & Evija’s exhibition in the Botanic Gardens. It was a lovely experience & so nice to have Brandon (the celebrity) with us & to hear so many positive comments from others who were in the gardens at the time 😊The exhibition has not only raised awareness of SMART Syndrome but has also showcased Brandon’s talent as a photographer & his ability to capture beautiful images 🌟

What a busy morning we had…..we met at the Cafe Botanic & had a lovely visit from Gemma (CSHS) who had lots of info that she shared with members. We hope Gemma is going to become a regular visitor to the group!

I couldn’t resist a sneaky peek at Brandon & Evija’s exhibition……it’s absolutely beautiful! Well done both of you…..the images are not only haunting but captivating too, tremendous 💛

A lovely day in the gardens today……A big thank you to Catherine who made a great job of planting lots of flowers & ferns & Maryanne who also made a great job of paintjng one of the picnic tables 💛 it was Graham’s birthday today & so we had lovely cakes & muffins baked by Graham’s mum Deborah! A glorious day in the gardens 😊 thanks to everyone.

And just like that…..we have flowers, plants & lots of bulbs planted. Picnic benches painted & things are really starting to take shape 🌷🌷 a big thank you to Craig & Nicky, Rob & Heather & Maggie! Team work really is dream work 💛
