🍩✨ WISH WEDNESDAY COMES AROUND WITH A BAKER’S TALE! ✨🍩

This weeks wish took us on a delicious trip down memory lane… with a jam-filled detour! 😋

Ruth remembered Simmons Bakers very well. Her father-in-law lived next door to Reg Simmons in Hatfield, and after his shifts, Reg would often bring home trays of leftover cakes to share with Ruth’s family. ❤️

And Ruth’s favourite? The classic jam doughnut, of course! 🍩❤️
Soft, sweet, tempting… and absolutely FULL of jam! 😂

It’s been over 15 years since Ruth’s last visit, so we thought it was time to bring back a little taste of the past.

A delicious doughnut, a lovely cuppa ☕️ and a whole lot of happy memories. Sometimes the simplest treats are the sweetest! 🥰

🍩 Jam today, memories forever! 🍩

🌾👀 SCARECROWS HERE, SCARECROWS THERE… SCARECROWS EVERYWHERE! 👀🌾

The Scarecrow Festival 2026 had arrived… and Water Mill House joined in! 🎉

Our residents got creative and made scarecrows representing their past professions — can you match the scarecrow to the resident? 🤔🧑‍🌾👩‍🍳👨‍🔧👩‍🏫

We proudly renamed ours “Care-Crows” and they were on show at St Mary’s Church, Apsley ⛪🌾

And it seems our straw filled friends made quite an impression… the Vicar absolutely loved our entry! ❤️👏

🌾 Care-Crows: standing telling our stories! 🌾
