At The Hive

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

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

Circles

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.
