The Valentines Day activities are well underway, today Vera made a special gingerbread cookie for her daughter to tell her how much she loves her. In Italian of course!

Every Tuesday we are very fortunate to have Melanie join us to deliver a seated exercise class for residents to support their physical and emotional wellbeing. Each session is super charged with energy and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

This year Knights Court celebrated Diwali in style!  Diwali or Deepavali is one of the biggest and auspicious festivals celebrated by Hindus all around the globe. The festival of lights signifies peace and joy, the victory of good over evil, and light over darkness every day. It is one of the most symbolic Hindu festivals celebrate.

Buckingham House was filled with poppies for Remembrance Day 2021. Everyone who lives with us played their part in remembering those we have lost.

A moving day had by all.

In preparation of Remembrance Day, those living with us at Wyndham Hall enjoyed crafting poppies and spending time talking about the different roles they did during the war. One of our residents who is 100 years old was in the land army and generously shared her experiences with the group.

Some more photos of the amazingly spooky ghostly decorations that the people living with us at Wyndham Hall made to celebrate Halloween around our home.

To celebrate Halloween, many of the people living with us at River View decorated pumpkins with spooky faces and coloured in some themed pictures that we displayed across the home for everyone to enjoy.

Our themed activity afternoon included Halloween bingo with our winner being presented with a bag of chocolate gold coins (nothing scary about that we think !

Staff at River View Care Home took a moment to quietly remember and pay tribute to all of those who have served in the armed services.

At Knights Court we had our own ‘Spooktacular’ Halloween party with the people living with us along with staff dressing up for the occasion.

We had deliciously spooky treats along with our afternoon tea and then enjoyed an afternoon of entertainment from a Shamanic Drummer with her spiritual drumming and singing of folk songs.

We had such a fantastic trip to Flowerland in Bourne End last week. Our residents who came on the with us each chose a beautiful pot plant to give to their loved ones. They were amazed at the variety of colours and varieties of plants on display.

A trip to Flowerland would not be complete without a pitstop at their wonderful cafe for homemade cakes and pots of tea.
