A fun day was had by all yesterday, it was the first time we were able to safely invite family to our outdoor celebration. 

It's safe to say that a day dedicated to chocolate was always going to be a hit with both residents and staff here at Bowerfield Court. We held a chocolate tasting competition and our receptionist Whitney was definitely our chief taster guessing all the flavours correctly.
