It was a ‘full house’ in our cinema. We gathered to hear renowned archaeologist and author Dr Murray Cook’s presentation on Medieval Stirling📜

We relished in the presentation, learning many new facts about Stirling and posing our own questions, too.

We were fascinated to hear the story of what is believed to be the oldest football in the world, estimated to be about 300 years older than any previously known, which is currently housed at The Smith in Stirling. Dr Cook explained that this unique artefact will soon travel to the World Cup for a special exhibition.

“That was a very interesting afternoon,” Ellen said😆

“Thank you, Sir, that was very interesting,” said Roy🥰

We all agreed that it was a very informative afternoon, and Dr Cook said he’d be very happy to make a return visit🎉

Students from St.Modan’s School joined us for our Intergenerational Shared Reading session📖

"I’d be happy to go back and read with Janet again. She’s a lovely lady, and she wanted to get to know me, too. We had a really good chat."😆

“Colin is very funny! I’d like to read with Colin next time!”

“The student who came to read with me, what a nice lass, and she wanted to chat and find out about me, too,” said June.♥️

There are many benefits to intergenerational work, and seeing relationships being forged between our residents and their student partners is wonderful! We look forward and are excited to embark on more intergenerational work with St.Modan’s school in their 2026/2027 term🥳

At our recent activities meeting, a few residents requested different walks... woodlands, parks, scenic paths, to name a few🚶

Since the weather was nice, we jumped in the bus and went to Stirling's popular King's Park😆

Maureen, Santokh, Bryan & Ian all enjoyed the beauty of the park, and we all look forward to our next walk!

It was a jam-packed piano bar with everyone wishing Agnes a very happy 98th birthday🥳

We celebrated with Agnes and her family to music with Jazz🎶

There was much dancing and singing to be had, as we enjoyed afternoon tea and refreshments!

Glasses were raised to Agnes as were smiles as we sang ‘happy birthday,’ as only the ‘big Oakeshott Family,’ can…❤️🎶

The dancing prize of the day goes to our lovely Victor, who definitely had half the piano bar dancing- and smiling!

Happy Birthday, Agnes🎂

We have recently been loving the sensory gym⚽

Everyone always has a big smile and engages well with throwing and catching the ball!

This certainly wakes us up in the mornings and encourages hand-eye coordination💪

It was definitely ‘Wild in the West, with everyone leaving their inhibitions at the door and getting their ‘yee-ha’s’ on🤠

We welcomed Heather Barton and her Bootleg troupe of line dancers who put on a fantastic evening of line dancing for us all!

Some of our residents and staff may have found themselves on ‘WANTED’ posters. The only crime committed in the ‘Wild West of Oakeshott House’ was having a good time😆

“That was a guid night,” said Drew..

“I worked with some of the dancers and their families,” Anne said!

“I need to thank the girls, that was great,” Maureen said..

Staff and residents all agreed with Maureen, as we thanked Heather and her troupe of ladies for giving up their Bank Holiday evening to entertain us all🥳

We recently had Merrimax come to the home to play for us, and what an afternoon it was🥰

Everyone loved this and started singing along with the music!

It is good to reminisce about the old songs that we used to sing, and it gives the younger care team an insight into music before all the digital equipment came out🎶

Nothing beats an old tune to get everyone dancing😆
