We celebrated Alice's 105th Birthday at Troutbeck. Alice was still doing yoga at 100 years old. Congratulations to Alice on such a marvellous age. 

Who loves our bright and colourful spring notice board? This will definitely bring the sunshine indoors for us all to see. 

To celebrate British Pie week here at Manorhey we prepped and baked our favourite pies including chicken and leek, cheese and onion and a meat pie. We must say they were lovely and we really enjoyed them, cheese and onion was the chosen favourite of the day. 

Flower arranging is a favourite creative group activity at Cedar Court. Not only do we enjoy the tea and chatter, the results are always beautiful. 

Today we decided as spring is nearly here that we would create our very own take on it. We created these stunning rainbow daffodils; everyone chose how to decorate them and create very beautiful flowers. We were all amazed how wonderful they looked and everyone thoroughly enjoyed creating them. 

We decided today we would have a day of imagination art; I gave the residents numerous items to use whilst using their imagination to create their very own artwork. This worked a treat as it gave them the opportunity to be very creative and use their imaginations to create beautiful art for the home and their rooms.

One of our residents received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from her husband which she was so thrilled about. It also gave her an opportunity to recall how much she enjoyed being in her garden, she recalls the memory of how beautiful they smelt and looked as she strolled in her garden, this bought back fond memories for her. 

We love celebrating birthdays at Acorn House and it's just as well as we have five to celebrate this month, everyone liked the idea of this one and chocolate muffins are a favourite of Kathleen's whose birthday it is today. 

Day to day activities at Parkview are varied and down to individual choice, some people enjoy a mind game, quoits or even bubbles which are magical whatever age you are.

It's fantastic the ideas that can spring from the mind of our amazing Activities Coordinator. Katrina found some old cards and they were reworked into beautiful words. The people we care for expressed their thoughts on what made them happy.
