Our stories

We had a game of skittles today. The residents used great strength and aim to knock the skittles. They soon became a little competitive and had good sportsmanship. They played for nearly an hour and really enjoyed it.

At Bowerfield House Ron and Dianne enjoyed a game of football on the table which was lots of fun and Ron was happy he won. We will have lots more fun and laughs with all our residents and bring out our competitive sides.

Our tuck shop here at Bowerfield Court is everyone's favourite. Fully stocked with all sorts of treats from old school chocolate bars, traditional biscuits and retro sweets to crisps and fizzy drinks.
