The purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtles and tortoises. At Princess Lodge we researched facts about sea turtles and tortoises and how pollution in the ocean is effecting their habitat whilst painting some beautiful pictures. 

It was National Cheese Day recently, who could resist a cheese and wine afternoon? A wide range of cheeses were prepped by the Head Chef, coupled with a selection of biscuits and a glass of wine. 

As well as trying lots of tasty Italian Food we also used a selection of fresh ingredients to top our pizza which we enjoyed for dinner that evening. Bellissima! 

Some of the people who live at Princess Lodge decided to have some temporary tattoos on their arm. It was fun choosing their favourite designs. 

Recently it was National Cheese Day, so we took our cheese tasting into the garden. We had to try a lot of cheeses to decide on our favourites and of course cheese needs ports and grapes, it would be rude not to. 

Margaret is very artistic and did a wonderful job designing and making paper flowers. These stunning blooms have been displayed around the home and they look beautiful and bright. 

Residents had a great time as they started to share stories of their laundry days as child. It's amazing how simple acts promote such strong memories. 

What a beautiful day to get outside and have a bit of fun, so what if we had to create our own breeze. We had a great time playing games and we even managed to just sit for 5 minutes to enjoy the sun on the way back. 

We celebrated National Carer's Week by putting on an ice cream tasting day to say thank you to all our care staff. Residents and staff enjoyed several different flavours of ice cream together with cornets, lollies, wafers, sauces and sprinkles. 

Recently it was National Biscuit Day. Now don't be upset we never shared with you, we decided to save them all of us, we managed a lovely tea and biscuits session in the days honour.
