Ed, Lucy and I met at Hartrigg Oaks to see the lovely residents for an hour of ball-throwing fun. We'd had a brief hiatus as they have recently switched activity coordinators, but the residents all remembered us and were keen to get stuck in with some fun.

It didn't take long before Lucy dived straight into the cupboard of fun and found us a parachute to play with. After some practice, we split into two teams competing to get the ball thrown off the parachute on the other teams side. Ed and his team were very in sync and mastered the game quickly winning with an envious 10-5!

Then came out the basket ball net where we each took it in turns to shoot. We soon learnt who the previous netball players were amongst the residents!

It wasn't long before it was time for squash and goodbyes! We'll get back to our regular monthly visits now and can't wait to back for another parachute challenge.
