Margaret
When we first came to Sandford, Margaret went to Art in the Care Home every week. The sessions were run by Susannah Crook (website) who was absolutely brilliant in what she did. When Margaret started, she was in her accurate colouring phase with very carefully and inventively selected colours. During Covid, Susannah no longer came but, afterwards, returned to teaching in the Village. Eventually she returned to the Care Home but under a revised and less satisfactory schedule over which Wayne had no control (management!). She left the Care Home this December and we had a celebratory tea in my house. Belinda and I were there 'cos of Lyn & Margaret, Wayne because it was he who was her link person in the Care Home, Malcolm, because he goes to her Village Art class and Shelagh because she often comes and has tea with me! It is the end of an era but one which has had perfect timing as far as Margaret is concerned now she has all-but given up any drawing / colouring etc.
