Our regular tea time quiz is getting very competitive.  The three teams, the Wise Quacks, Agatha Quiztie and Les Quizerables went head to head with The Wise Quacks coming out on top, this time.

Peter, Val, Ellie, Mary, Kate, Janna, Terri and David had an absolute blast!

It's not just our families and friends that we like to check in on.  Sometimes we like to catch up and have a little bit of time with our pets who love us unconditionally. They recognise our voices and they bring so much happiness.

This week we brought a splash of colour into the lives of the Knights Court residents. We took out our colouring pencils and colouring sheets kindly donated to us by Morrison’s and threw ourselves into to this life enhancing activity. 

At Brunel House we are very lucky to now have 2 pianos for the people living with us to enjoy. Both pianos came from local homes where they were no longer in use and the family were looking to gain a little bit more room inside their houses.  

Thursday has become our regular out and about excursion day, which allows us to once again make great use of the Brunel House minibus.

Abingdon Court celebrated the Oscars ceremony by watching a compilation of some of our favourite moments
in cinema – classics from My Fair Lady, Titanic, and A Streetcar Named Desire to name just a few. We were
reminded of some of our favourite heartthrobs, screen icons and award winning showtunes alike.

Cinema has impacted the lives of many of us living here at Abingdon Court, and we all have fond memories of our favourite actresses and actors, old and new. We decided to have our own celebration in light of the 93rd Oscars Academy Awards.

Early in the week we decorated our own Oscar award with mosaics, inspired by the colourful scenery
found in Barcelona. Many here have a creative eye, and this really allowed us to embrace our creative skills.

 

Here at Abingdon Court, we would be lost without our nurses who keep the building alive – from the amazing team who work tirelessly throughout our home, making sure all who live here are happy and healthy, to our home managers who have dedicated their lives to nursing before taking on managerial roles. Nurses really are at the heart of what we do (supported by our excellent carers, of course!).

We celebrated with everyone - Staff and Residents

Residents at Windmill Court celebrated VE Day with a street party themed lunch, enjoying their favourite choice of lunch - beef burger, chips and a glass of wine! 

On hearing of the residents' request for burgers to be served at the street party to mark the 76th year anniversary of VE Day, local butcher Gary Dutton very kindly donated some home made burgers for the event which everyone really enjoyed.
