A beautiful deer spotted wandering through the grounds, perfectly at home among the autumn colours. Nature really does have a way of brightening the day. 🧡

🍁 Mindful moments 🍁
🍂 Autumn Scavenger Hunt 🍂

This week our patients enjoyed a Mindfulness Scavenger Hunt around the grounds, searching for crunchy leaves, red berries and enjoying the cool breeze along the way. Simple moments, big benefits: grounding, calm, and connection with nature. 🧡🍁

Today, our patients enjoyed a therapeutic session in our Space to Grow Garden, where they carefully picked a selection of fresh flowers and transformed them into beautiful floral arrangements.

This calming activity encouraged creativity, mindfulness, and a sense of achievement, while providing an opportunity to connect with nature and one another. Each arrangement was unique, reflecting the care, imagination, and pride that went into creating it.

The finished displays have added colour and warmth to the ward, and our patients were proud to showcase their wonderful work. A lovely reminder of how spending time in nature can support well-being and brighten everyone’s day. 🌼😀

Our patients have been incredibly busy this week in the ward kitchen! 🧁

From preparing ingredients to decorating their finished bakes, everyone embraced the activity with enthusiasm and creativity. Baking provided a great opportunity to build confidence, develop practical skills, and enjoy spending time together.

As you can see, the end results were fantastic! Our patients baked delicious flapjacks, rich tea traybake, scones, and fairy cakes. The homemade treats were a big hit with all the patients. 😋😋😋

🌱 Weeding Wednesday at Huntly Burn! 🌱

Our patients worked incredibly hard today clearing the weeds and taking care of the vegetable garden they planted back in the spring. It’s fantastic to see everything growing so well!😀

We’ve got potatoes, sweetcorn, beetroot, carrots, and leeks all coming along nicely. 🌽🥕🥔🫜

We can’t wait until it’s time to harvest and enjoy the fresh produce together. Well done to everyone for all your hard work and dedication! 💚
