The Great Pizza Taste Challenge

Staff and Service Users have had an ongoing debate over which supermarket produces the best pizza - Morrisons or Asda. In order to settle this they went to their respective supermarkets to purchase their favourite pizza.
These were then independently cooked by Staff and a blind taste test took place between them – with the winning pizza being…………………………..Asda much to the Service User's disgust as nobody does pizza as good as Morrisons!

This month we had a Service User celebrate his 30th birthday which he spent having lunch on the Friday with his Mum before going to his Dad’s for the weekend. On his return on Sunday evening he could not wait to share his birthday cake with some of the Staff and Service users, as you can see.

Two Service Users had a day out at Longleat, both managing to be up and out of the house before 9.30am. One of them took a slow amble around the animals spending time absorbing his environment whilst the other set off at a much faster pace.
One handled a Boa but sadly the picture didn’t come out whilst the other was much more reserved. Everyone met up for lunch in one of the Cafes with the events of the day catching up with one who shortly after headed for home with his staff.
The other made the most of his day out, spending some more time taking in the sights of Longleat before heading back to the House stopping off for a coffee in his beloved Greggs in Warminster. A jolly good time was had by all.

One of our Service Users decided he would like his hair cut this month, so visited Leon’s in Wells with Staff. Having sat majestically in the chair to have his hair cut he then decided that he would help Leon by sweeping up the floor. Sadly despite all his hard work Leon did not give a discount!

During the course of the month our Service Users have also enjoyed trips out to Clarks Village, Glastonbury, Nunney Castle, Cheddar Car Boot, Wells Market, Collett Park in Shepton Mallet, Shepton Mallet Skate Park and have had various trips out in the evening for to McDonalds, KFC, and Subway for takeaways.

Upcoming Event:

Our Service Users are eagerly looking forward to the Halloween Party at The Craftshed on Wednesday 31st October and then on the 6th November - Day Care’s Bonfire Party Extravaganza. Then we get into the bright lights, loud music and artistic creations of the Carnival Season. All in all a busy month ahead.
