Residents at Manorhey had an outing to Sunshine in the garden

They had a lovely day and enjoyed the good weather

Jean celebrated her 90th Birthday today last week. She spent the afternoon in the decking area with her daughter Lesley and a few close friends.

Lots of laughter and birthday singing filled the air.

What a lovely afternoon had in the sunshine.

Happy Birthday Jean!

Hope Green's Pop Up Ice Cream Parlour returned this week to the surprise and delight of residents, as the sun shone and Summer arrived. A choice of flavours and toppings made for a lovely treat and there were plenty of smiles all round. Strawberry ice cream was a firm favourite amongst our residents with vanilla a close second, but the toppings of sprinkles and sauce were an absolute must!

What a lovely morning we had together tasting a selection of chocolate from our very own sweet shop. It was great to choose our favourites and try new flavours too, looking through our reminiscence books filled with pictures and chatting about visits to sweet shops with families. It was interesting to hear about how our tastes often change as we get older. On such a lovely day we decided to continue our conversations in the garden with a lovely stroll together.

We Love Baking Club!

For Many Of Us It Is Our Favourite Activity.

Our residents really enjoyed our first session of flower arranging, this is why we planned to do it again. This time, the flowers we used are freshly picked from our garden and some are donated from our neighbours. Our residents loved it and look how they enjoyed doing it. After that, we displayed them as our table decorations for our dining area - some went into our bedrooms. Betty, one of the residents said that she will definitely do this again.

World Smoothie Day went down a treat on this beautiful summers day.

Peach Melba, Berry Frenzy, Supreme Greens and Super Breakfast Shake was all well received.

Ice cold nutrition and hydration seemed to be the colourful tasty topic of the day. YUMMY !!!

Our residents enjoyed the stylings of Antony Lye to celebrate Father’s Day. His keyboard skills were great and everyone enjoyed singing along. Factoring in the beautiful sunshine we enjoyed a wonderful day.

Jimmy James cannot contain his excitement when we gave him the news that we are setting up a netball tournament. He was the first to open and helped us with the assembly and all! The activity includes tournament between groups of staff and residents and an invite to other care homes interested to participate. Our Jimmy started to try our net ball ring. This is going to be fun!
