Enjoying a takeaway is such a treat for us all and the people living at Kings Manor really missed a Chinese, so we had a special evening just for them.
We decorate our bistro complete with chopsticks and place names for the people joining us.  Everyone really enjoyed the evening.

There is nothing better then being outside in the good weather and the people living at Kings Manor really wanted to play some games in the garden.  So we got out some of our games like hook a duck and had a little competition. 
After the fun and games we had a little picnic in the shade which was really lovely and enjoyed by all.

Residents individual scrap books are a hit. Taking a trip through their time here and seeing all the wonderful activities and things we have done together, have sparked so many wonderful memories for us all to chat about.

What a great day we had on one of the hottest days of the year celebrating national picnic month. Residents enjoyed a picnic party in the garden with games, music, food and refreshments! Fresh strawberries and cream were enjoyed and washed down with a prosecco.

Our residents last week took a quiz on Wimbledon tennis match to test their knowledge.

Birch Heath Lodge threw the care home open on Friday with a wonderful outdoors seaside themed BBQ on Friday. Invitations went out to all our friends, families and neighbours. Mike, our Chef, was in charge of the BBQ, we had burgers and sausages, his team also made some lovely fresh salads to accompany. We had a visit from the Ice cream van which went down a storm as did our wonderful vocalist who started of the afternoon’s events, Hook a duck - bat a rat – Hoopla plus our fab tombola.

We spent the day remembering the folks we have lost, we started the day with a memorial service. Following we hung our first pictures on our new memorial wall. In the afternoon we laid the rocks we painted in honour of our favourite gardener and self professed grumpy old git and remembered the joy each of these wonderful people brought to our lives.

Gentleman's club brought a rather competitive game of domino's today.

Our Gents requested a re-match.

Beers and friendly banter flowed ,the best man still won.

During this week our lovely residents had a morning of pampering.

They choose their favourite nail polish, some to match their eye colour, others to match the clothing for the rock concert that they are attending.

In the morning for our activity session some of our residents painted a few stones, using the vibrant colours of summer.

They enjoyed the activity, some of them shared that painting relaxes them.
