Leonard, Owen and Joan out in the sunshine today. Listening, singing and joining in with the dance moves with our lovely Kerry who came to sing for us today. Our residents enjoyed the sing-a-long and to keep cool  we had an ice lolly to finish off the afternoon.  

The smiles were back for the return of Andy T .

Andy has been entertaining the residents and staff of Brunel House for the last 6 years. He's so popular her used to visit once a month.

The excitement was clear to see for some.

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.

We held a 'life style day' for our residents, which means brushing, folding laundry, dusting or knitting, after discussion the general feeling was to have a knitting day. Some great results and hard concentration. An enjoyable activity that everyone who took part enjoyed. 

At Bowerfield House we have been very busy in the kitchen, we have baked cupcakes and decorated them. We all enjoyed eating them with a nice pot of tea and a good chat. We have also been cooking a beef hotpot which we added to our evening meal options, it went down very well and was very much enjoyed by the residents and staff. At Bowerfield House we have had some dignity aprons made for our residents, they look a lot better and are comfortable to wear. Our residents look very smart and are pleased with the design. 

Games afternoon started with Bingo, Cards and Domino's. Mona, Dorothy and Owen enjoyed the games afternoon, they had a lovely tea and cake break. 

Our most requested activity are music and quizzes. This week brought smiles to our quizzers faces when we held our 'Who wants to be a millionaire quiz' this is run as the TV programme, lots of discussion to get the right answer, this time we got to the £500,000 question...but it was the wrong answer. We all loved the afternoon, next time we'll hopefully get the million. 

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. 

Face painting for our Rio Carnival Day. We had a fabulous day starting with face painting the staff and residents, Yvonne, Leonard, Nicola and then the head dresses.
