Our tuck shop here at Bowerfield Court is everyone's favourite. Fully stocked with all sorts of treats from old school chocolate bars, traditional biscuits and retro sweets to crisps and fizzy drinks. All profit goes directly into the residents' fund which we hope to be able to spend on a lovely day out somewhere once circumstances allow. 

We celebrated Scrabble Day last Tuesday. Alfred Mosher Butts, inventor of Scrabble was born on 13th April, so what better excuse to remember him and this iconic board game than to hold a Scrabble competition. The residents really enjoyed playing Scrabble while they were having a cup of tea. 

We had a beautiful day today reminiscing about the past and all the things we did growing up using products they recognise and books with pictures from big events from the past, this was a benefit for everyone involved. It was lovely to see all conversations flowing about childhood memories. 

With our new digital TV's and their finest voices the residents took to singing some of their favourite tunes. It was fantastic to have so many join in and applaud each other after their renditions. 

Easter bonnet making at Cavendish Court. We had such fun and laughter amongst the residents. 

St George's Day preparations are well under way here at Bowerfield Court. We have painted and assembled our very own way dragon marionettes and practised using them ready for our planned puppet show. We are currently making our St George marionettes and will be retelling the story of St George and the Dragon at our themed party next week. 

We had great fun with our blown up bunny ears and hoops over the Easter period. 

We had a great time searching for the Easter Eggs we all shared and everyone enjoyed a chocolate egg. 

A lovely morning of puzzles, music and fun for residents and staff at Hope Green. We'll definitely be doing this activity together again soon as it was a great success. 

Today the residents created some beautiful bouquets doing some flower arranging. They picked which vase they wanted to use first, then selected which flowers to use. Some residents used scissors to cut the stems and others asked for help. The flowers were carefully placed in the vase and moved into the position they were happy with. The residents talked about the colours and scents of the flowers, what their favourite flowers were and how they were taught to arrange flowers when they were younger.
