Fun and games

" Having fun on Thursday, the fifteenth of July"

I had actually given the hoola-hoops to my stroke group for a completely different reason. I had thought that my clients could work in pairs and practise skills like balancing on one leg, jumping on two and so on. How wrong I was. They all collected a hoop for themselves and had their own ideas of what to do with them.

Just what they were made for: hoola-hooping!

Those who could not keep their arms out of the way to hoola-hoop around their waists hoola-hooped around their necks.

I actually stood back and looked on in amazement. I couldn't believe my eyes so, with their consent, I took some photographs just to prove it was real!
