Love the photographs taken by Carol Bovis and the one in today's Daily Telegraph is stunning. Thank you and especially so from someone who can no longer get to see them in real life.

Many local older people are feeling isolated and anxious about going out. Would you like to help a client near you rebuild their confidence, by joining them for a walk and chat once a week, for 8 weeks initially? Please email [email protected] to volunteer.
Inspirational talk yesterday by our @AgeUKSomerset Patron, Dr. Lucy Pollock, referring to her book "The Book About Getting Older". Thought-provoking yet reassuring. Thanks to @brendon_books, Somerset Care and Taunton Literary Festival for their input into the event.

What a difference a day makes .... when you receive a blood transfusion! Many thanks Musgrove Park Hospital, especially the professionals in SDEC
Just completed a sound-bite on #BBCSomersetSound as to why we should all embrace modern technology, regardless of our age, and use it to learn, communicate, reduce isolation and even use it for fun! But the device needs to be affordable and comprehensible so as to be inclusive.

This #ToenailTuesday pls join us in appreciating our Toenail Cutting Assistants! Despite the year's multiple challenges (anxiety, PPE, tests) they've shown such dedication to keeping older people in Somerset comfortable & safe on their feet 👏 The service is now open to over 55s.
