ON THE afternoon of Wednesday, August 12, Southfield Care Home (Order of Saint John Trust) had a fantastic afternoon when Animal-Mania visited them.

John, the animal keeper, brought in snakes, rabbits, a chinchilla, a tortoise and a baby meerkat.

John went around all the residents to let them stroke them, a couple of the residents even had the snake around their neck!

Anne-Marie Damsell, activities co-ordinator at Southfield, put on afternoon tea and a raffle to raise money towards the cost of Animal-Mania.

Thank you to everybody who made this day special.
