Another cracking morning at Leamington Memory Café 🧡
The theme of today's session was Autumn across the world, with a focus on different festivals that happen across the globe 🌍
Did you know 🧐
- The Mid-Autumn festival is celebrated in September in China, when it is believed that the moon is brightest and fullest 🌕
- Diwali is is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism, and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kārtika – between around mid-October and mid-November 🪔
- Hallowe'en was originally a Celtic festival, originating in Ireland 🇮🇪👻
We did a fun quiz about all this and more, and then later we got competitive with apple bobbing, as well as making some cute paper craft pumpkins to exercise everyone's fine motor skills. 🎃
Last but not at all least our colleague Beth performed Tarot readings for our guests and staff! ✨
Thanks to all for coming, and it was great to see some new faces this week and give them a proper Cubbington welcome!
See you next week folks! 🧡
