Forget me not, Bicester

19/06/2026

We celebrated ladies day at Forget-me-nots on Thursday this week. What a wonderful array of hats!

We had fun with horse racing before lunch and then music from Reggae Ray in the afternoon.
A good time was had by all 👒

It's been a little while since we shared what we've been up to so here are some of the highlights from May and the start of June.

As well as celebrating big birthdays, we've had our usual activities going on, including playing dominoes, crafty creations on the art table, manicures, reading books and magazines, playing Skyjo, and playing lucky squares and doing puzzles.

We also had a go at a new game called Boccia, which was great fun.

We've listened to music, sang and danced. Thank you to John Nelson for his song selection - some good foot tapping tunes!

Wow, it was such a pleasure to spend time with Callum on Thursday, where he presented us with a lovely cheque for £1,301. He ran the Manchester marathon in aid of Forget-me-nots, Bicester, so we can provide our clients with lots of extras, like musical entertainment, craft supplies and other luxuries!

Well done Callum, what an achievement!!
