Well done Jonnie Peacock for making it to Strictly Blackpool and making so many people proud. His dancing steps and parting words are an inspiration to all. This followed his 100m sprint gold medal success at the World Para Athletics Championships and to top it all Jonnie was voted to receive 3rd place in BBC Sports Personality of the Year! What a year!!!
8 GINGERBREAD HEARTS – well, it is Christmas!
7 SPECIES OF FISH in our aquarium
We have a new aquarium. A number of studies concluded that watching fish in aquaria proved to have therapeutic effects on emotional and physiological well-being. It helps in reducing anxiety levels as well as in relaxing the mind and has even been shown to reduce blood pressure! In addition to enjoying the aesthetics of the aquarium we shall hope to see some beneficial effects on our patients too.
