If there's one way to the heart of the majority here at Abingdon Court, its Chocolate! To celebrate 'World Chocolate Day' we curated a wide selection of chocolates and hosted a chocolate tasting session.

A variety of flavours were enjoyed, from sea salt to chilli, orange to white chocolate - there really was something for everyone! Everybody was provided with a 'flavour wheel' as we discussed which chocolates provided which fragrance.

The biggest activity request here at Clarendon Court is music, whether karaoke, sing-a-long or a music quiz, we have lots of good voices here. On the 16th we held a karaoke session, wow great response a lovely afternoon had by all.

The good weather gave us an opportunity to use our outside space, eating and holding activities. A great way to get some lovely fresh air and shaded sunshine.

Residents enjoyed a special brunch this morning which consisted of waffles, pancakes, fresh berries, bananas, Nutella and maple syrup. Everyone chose their own toppings and washed it down with a glass of cold orange, a perfect snack for this weather.

With glorious sunshine and everything we needed to make our own Day At The Beach at Hope Green we made the most of it and enjoyed a great time together. Favourites were definitely the inflatable flamingo and monkey and of course our Duck Game was a huge success. We loved lining up the ducks to spray them with water jets, trying to make them jump into the paddling pool below. What a good job we had plenty of towels to hand too as the water didn't always go exactly where we wanted it to! Fun in the sun with plenty of games on offer made it a day to remember.

Members of our team attended the recent Cranleigh Carnival June 2021.  It was an amazing day and the Cedar Court stand was a busy one.  We raised £120 for the Alzheimer's Society, with a tombola and an excellent selection of prizes, which was enjoyed by all the visitors to the stand.

We were extremely proud to display the lovely arts and crafts created by our residents during the pandemic.

The Town Mayor and Mayoress paid a visit to the Cedar Court stand and we were delighted when they both accepted an invitation to Garden Party.

We recently celebrated the 100th Birthday of our wonderful resident Joyce with cards, presents, celebration buffet and birthday cake. One of the day’s highlights, was watching Joyce open her very special birthday card received from Her Majesty the Queen.

Happy 100th birthday Joyce from all at Wyndham Hall.

With the hottest of weather beating down upon us last week, there was only one thing to do - throw an ice cream party! Residents and staff alike thoroughly enjoyed creating tubs of ice cream to suit their own tastes by choosing from a variety of different toppings such as chocolate stars, fudge pieces, hundreds and thousands, syrups and wafers. Just perfect for a hot sunny day!

During the national lockdowns, we've had to find new ways to deliver activities, as self-isolation and social distancing restricted many regular options in order to protect ourselves and the people around us. One of the blessings that came from this was our Sing Along sessions with Ellie over Zoom, which have become very popular with everyone in the home and remain a staple in our activities schedule.

Residents at Wyndham Hall enjoyed an active and fun-filled fortnight during the recent Wimbledon tennis championships.

Indoor tennis matches and themed activities, along with traditional strawberries and cream afternoon teas, ensured that we all enjoyed our very own Wyndham Championships.
