“I used to make clothes… miniskirts. My daughter wears them now. I looked after them well and they’ve lasted years.

“My daughter and son-in-law bring me here. My little grandson says: “Nanny, I can’t make you a cup of tea but I can get you water or something from the fridge.

“I like it here. All the people are very nice and we’re all very good to each other. It’s something to do, it keeps us healthy and I enjoy mixing with people.

“There should be more places like this, for everyone. We’re all together so we’re never lonely.”
