Baking, Fitness, Museum Visit & Fresh Air – A Wonderful Week at Options for Life!

It’s been another fantastic week filled with creativity, movement, and nature at Options for Life!

Yesterday afternoon, Claire chose to spend her time in the kitchen and had a wonderful baking session making a classic Victoria sponge cake. With the sweet scent of baking in the air, the room was soon filled with singing, laughter, and smiles. After the baking fun, Claire enjoyed a bit of peaceful relaxation in the garden—a perfect way to unwind.

Yesterday morning brought another energising session of FunFit, generously hosted by Dorothy Parkes Centre. Everyone got involved with gentle cardio movements, focusing on flexibility and stamina—all without the need for equipment. The session was filled with motivation and joy, and it was wonderful to see everyone participating at their own pace.

But the energy didn’t stop there! After FunFit, participants headed out to Warley Woods for a calming stroll surrounded by nature. Many still had enough bounce in their step to try out the outdoor gym equipment—proving just how much they’re growing in strength and confidence!

Meanwhile, Junior had a fantastic solo adventure exploring Birmingham’s nature reserve. He was full of excitement as he captured moments of his day through photography, eager to share the beauty he found in the natural world.

Anthony had a fantastic morning exploring RAF Cosford Museum! He loved seeing the incredible aircraft on display — from vintage warplanes to modern jets, each one had its own story to tell. RAF Cosford is home to one of the largest aviation collections in the UK, featuring iconic planes like the Spitfire, Vulcan bomber, and even experimental aircraft that pushed the boundaries of flight.

Anthony especially enjoyed walking through the hangars, where he could get up close to the aircraft and learn about the history of aviation and the people who shaped it. A truly inspiring day full of awe, learning, and smiles!

Well done, Anthony!
