It's Hot Hot Hot - the arrival of hot weather at Hope Green brought some lovely surprises of ice lolly deliveries and iced lemonade. Always conscious of keeping hydrated, we were enjoying some refreshing treats together whilst chatting about our favourite types of summer holidays. We even created our own display to celebrate the arrival of the summer sunshine and enjoyed the shade of the garden, watching the birds enjoying their feeding station which we had refilled with plenty of water too. 

More of our residents got involved with our planting to grow the largest dwarf sunflower. Dorothy and Owen enjoyed the day, we were given seeds by Morrisons and thought it would be nice to make it into a competition. The residents have there's in the room to look after so hopefully we will be able to share them when they grow. 

We celebrated the Queen's official birthday, we had a wonderful afternoon. We had some facts about the Queen which the residents loved to read about and some lovely pictures of the Queen. I also had a face mask of the Queen which went down great. 

Our residents had a lovely time celebrating the Queen's birthday with a strawberry and cream afternoon tea. We watched the trooping colours and took part in a regal quiz. The sun was shining and it was a truly lovely day. 

Bowerfield House had a lovely morning designing our wall art of a football pitch with all the countries flags placed around the football pitch, it's displayed lovely in our lounge. We talked about all the different countries all around the world (which is our theme this month) and about football and who we think will win, we all agreed England to win, so come on boys, you can do it! 

Cedar court residents enjoyed the outdoor entertainment on Thursday 10th June, a lovely afternoon with songs by our very talented entertainer Nathan, all the songs from the 50's and 60's, he was a huge hit!

Cedar Court have been approached by the Royal Surrey Hospital to knit blankets and wrist muffs for dementia patients. Our residents at Cedar Court were proud to take part and are busy knitting blankets and wrist muffs. Great work and an enjoyment by all. 

Who doesn’t love ice cream & ice lollies eh? after all, it’s one of the world’s favourite desserts! With the Summer in full bloom, we at Knights Court raided the freezer and got out some delicious ice lollies and choc ice creams as a treat for our residents. Did you know eating lollies & ice cream has health benefits? 

Our creative residents excelled again during a recent craft session, ceramic painting. The results were stunning and we are proud to showcase their work. A great time was had by all. 

At Alexandra Court we celebrated the Queen's official birthday and National Gin and Tonic Day. Residents Gwen and Dorothy joined in and enjoyed the afternoon.
