Meadowbank Day Service

There’s something special about starting the day with the sound of the waves and good company. 🌊💙

This morning, Paul enjoyed an early trip to the beach with his one-to-one support Holly, taking time to relax, breathe in the fresh sea air, and simply enjoy the moment. It’s these little adventures and meaningful connections that make such a difference.

Today we escaped to the enchanting flower fields at Yalham Hayes, where a breathtaking sea of colourful blooms stretched as far as the eye could see. 🌸🌼🌷

With so many beautiful flowers to choose from, we enjoyed wandering through the vibrant fields, hand-picking our favourites and capturing some stunning photographs for our photography project. The colours, scents and peaceful surroundings made it a truly magical experience.

To finish our wonderful day, we relaxed with coffee and cake while taking in the beautiful setting. A perfect day filled with smiles, colour and unforgettable memories. 💐☕🍰

Special thanks to Stephanie Stanyard Photography for sharing her expertise and helping us develop our photography skills.

We’re delighted to welcome our newest member, Paul, to Meadowbank! 🌿

Today, Paul enjoyed a trip to our local park before spending time in the garden, using his senses to explore and identify the different herbs. It was a lovely way to enjoy the outdoors while engaging with nature.

☀️ Heatwave Reminder ☀️

As many of you will have seen, temperatures are set to rise significantly next week, with Wednesday currently forecast to be the hottest day. 🥵

We will be taking all necessary precautions to keep everyone safe and comfortable during the hot weather.

If you are attending Meadowbank, please ensure you bring:
💧 Plenty of drinks
🧢 A sun hat
🧴 Sunscreen

Due to the high temperatures, we will be limiting time spent outdoors and adjusting activities where needed.

Please remember to stay hydrated, seek shade where possible and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during the hottest part of the day (11am–3pm).

Take care and keep cool everyone! 💚

To add to all of our recent adventures, we were also lucky enough to have an incredible visit from Sal at Somerset Wildlife Trust, who taught us all about badgers and their fascinating lives.

We also continued working on our tree photography project with the talented Stephanie Stanyard Photography, capturing some fantastic images along the way.

We’ve certainly been keeping busy, making wonderful memories, learning new skills, and having lots of fun through hands-on experiences!

A cracking time planting trees at Exmoor Tree Farm before heading over to the main farm. 🌳

Hazel shared lots of interesting facts about how the trees are planted, cared for and grown, making it a really enjoyable and informative visit. Thank you so for a fantastic day.

Absolutely fantastic photography workshop with the very talented Stephanie Stanyard Photography.

The weather had other ideas, so we swapped our original plans and focused on portrait photography instead. We learned how to position ourselves and our model, make the most of natural light, and use digital tools to transform the final image.

It was a fabulous morning filled with laughter, learning, and creativity. The photos produced were outstanding, and we all came away with so many new skills and inspiration.

Thank you, Stephanie, for such an enjoyable and inspiring workshop! 📸✨😊

Pippa really enjoyed this week’s art session with Chris, who joins us once a week to help with different creative projects. 🎨🌳

This week we spent time tree sketching together, enjoying the fresh air and getting creative with nature-inspired drawings. A lovely calm afternoon full of creativity, conversation and smiles.
