THE HAPPY DAYZ CARE HOME

Every morning, a group of the residents of the Happy Dayz Care Home got together for coffee and cake. They called themselves ‘The Elders’.

Happy Dayz was a colourful place and the helpers were fun and friendly. There were lots of activities and visitors, but now and again, The Elders got a bit bored. They felt frustrated with the routine of their current lives and craved doing something different.

They felt happiest when they talked about their ‘old lives’ and the many adventures they had.  Lady Myrtle talked of her career as a tattooist and graffiti artist.  Reg fondly remembered being a life model. Esmerelda had been a chess prodigy and Dolores told tales about when she was a night club hostess.  Harold and Shirl recounted their career as a high-wire and trapeze act.

As they talked, a plan began to emerge.  They decided that it would be foolish to leave the comforts of the Happy Dayz Care Home permanently.  Instead, they would escape in secret from time to time and have wild adventures.

And so the Happy Dayz Care Home Escape Committee was born!
