In this weather who doesnt like to dine outside so we gave the people living with us the option of dining alfresco today.
It was very popular as we served their usual fish and chips outdoors with a few extra salads to choose from.  Pudding was of course ice cream! 

We have an amazing tree at Buckingham house, its our Genies Wishes Tree. 
The people living at the home have asked for some wishes and we just love turning them into reality.  Once the wish has been granted to turns into a beautiful flower.  This is on display in the home for all to see and enjoy.
 

Some of the people living with us wanted to get outside and enjoy the lovely weather.  So before it got too warm we popped out and had some fun playing dominoes in the garden.

Wow, what a fun day we had celebrating Royal Ascot.  We started the day with a staff race on the horses we had made which was so entertaining for people to watch.
We then enjoyed some lovely snacks of popcorn and marshmallow bars a delicious treat and loved buy all.
To finish off the day we had our own Ascot race with the people living at the home. 
The winners even got trophy's.  We all had a great time and enjoyed the laughter and smiles in the home.

One of our lovely carers Ange who has been with us for 7 years, hand stitched this wonderful picture to hang on our walls to celebrate the Queens 70th Jubilee.  We are all so grateful to Ange for taking the time to create this for Belvoir Vale.  She is a great part of our team and you can see she has a creative eye!

Every Monday morning we have a gentleman called Sam who comes to our home to do some chair exercises with the people living with us. This is a massive hit with all ladies and gents of all abilities. 

This week we have enjoyed a trip to our local fruit farm where we did some strawberry picking.  Some off us we hadn’t done this since we were a child, so it brought back some lovely memories. It was such a nice morning and we had a great time collecting strawberries.  When we arrived back our fantastic hospitality team used what we had picked to make us scones with fresh strawberries and a strawberry flan for everyone to enjoy.

Some of the gentlemen living with us wanted to venture to our local pub.  We were happy to bring them to enjoy a pub afternoon.  They had a great time watching the horse races and golf on tv.  Whilst having a good old giggle and chat over a nice cold alcoholic beverage.  The gents really enjoyed their afternoon and had a fab day experiencing something a little different.  We are looking forward to the next trip there.

Yesterday afternoon the people living with us enjoyed live entertainment outside in the sun.  We put the gazebo up so they could relax and be nice and cool in the warm weather we are having this week. We offered cold refreshments which included a nice glass of wine or alcoholic beverage of their choice. We had a singer perform outside in the garden called Johnny who sang songs from 1950's. 
He was amazing and put a lovely show on for all which was well enjoyed.  The afternoon filled with happiness, a good old dance and some amazing memories to cherish.

What a wonderful time we had at Allingham House celebrating Queen's Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee.
