Happy Halloween!!




As the eve of Halloween dawned, the guys got to work decorating the home in honour of the supersticous celebrations. Ghostly bodies hung from the light fittings, while mummies and vampires hid expectantly in the corners of the windows. Bert and Fred (two eerily insane looking pumpkins) greeted guests at the front door as a witch flew through the sky. We celebrated Halloween with a small buffet party and were joined by Anne and her friend Catherine, as invited by John Morris. We chatted the night away, leaving little food to be found. I hope I'm not jinxing it when I say I think a spookily wonderful time was had by all...

Mark In The Kitchen Again



Mark has been at work in the kitchen again to prepare some dinner for all the guys. I'm told he enjoyed a cup of tea in one of our new almost-a-pint sized mugs whilst tossing the stir fry in the other hand. Yet he and John James promtly had a delicious meal on the table.

John James the Entrepreneur Baker



John James is not only the Oaks support worker but also an entrepreneur baker! John began his baking as a hobby back in February, making simple pastries. He has since progressed to extravagant cup cakes. He has frequently delighted us all by bringing in his experimental creations for everyone to try and has also baked his way into the world of show biz! Recently he created the cup cake now know as 'Cake Fat' which went on to be the official cup cake of comedy tribute band Take Fat. John has also given cup cakes to help the National Deaf Society and often gives his cakes to the homeless.
