  I'm a City fan

by Chris

I like coming to The Hive on a Monday. I like sewing. I have sewn a David Bowie picture and a Rod Stewart picture.

I like all different kinds of music.

I do my own cooking. Sometimes I make pasta with chicken, tomato and pasta sauce.

Sometimes I go out and look round the shops, especially the DVD stalls on the market.

Sometimes I go to see my dad and we go to football. I support Manchester City, my dad supports Tottenham Hotspur.

At The Hive

I do many different things at The Hive. I like sorting things out. I like crocheting.

I fetch the meat pies for dinner from across the road and I also fetch the post. I like the singalongs.

Twice a week at the end of the day I read to everyone. I enjoy doing it and my reading is getting a lot better.

I like serving people in the pop-up shops and when we have the market stall.

I represent the clients at the Trustees meetings. I have to go round and ask people if they have anything to bring up.

In Stitches

Once, without any help, I did a piece of sewing about Manchester United. It was brilliant.

Sometimes my friend Christine comes up from Manchester.

             Cross Stitch Designs

I love doing cross stitch designs. It's something that keeps me calm and relaxed.

It is a fantastic hobby for somebody as artistic as me.

Circles

by Sean

I like going to the theatre to see dancing girls, and to have ice-cream. 

I like to see all my friends at The Hive.

I have a very special kind of colouring when I do hundreds of little circles.

I went to Blackpool with my twin sister at Christmas. We saw singers. They sang Dean Martin and Michael Buble songs.

There was a magician in the hotel. He went to the tables and did card tricks.

Taking stock

by 

Ian (aka Ferret)

I once worked on a farm in North Yorkshire. I milked the cows, had breakfast and then cleaned out the cows and calves and pigs.

I cut the grass and turned it with a shaker.

The best thing about living on a farm was looking after the stock. I was there for about three years.

I loved the outdoor life.
