The people living at the home have their own gardening club which they very much enjoy.  They have been creating some beautiful arrangements for everyone at the home to enjoy.

We have a walking club at the home and we quite often venture out over the common for a little walk.  This week on our walk we had a lovely surprise as we were greeted with some animals and a choir that we sat and listened to. Such a lovely extra treat for the group.

The Queen has asked people from all organisations to plant a tree in her honour for the Jubilee and the people at Buckingham House Care Home were really excited to get involved.
The Mayor came to the home to do the official planting and spoke with the people living with us.  To celebrate the event we had such a beautiful day that we could get our BBQ out.  There were also themed cakes and desserts for all to enjoy.  The entertainment was fantastic and got everyone out dancing.  We had such a wonderful day.

We had the lovely mini mobile zoo call and see at the home which was so exciting. The afternoon was a hit with everyone and as it was glorious day, we sat outside to see the animals that has been brought along.   We got to see and hold a bearded dragon, a rabbit, a corn snake and a skunk.  It was such a great event and we are looking forward to having them visit us again soon.

Over the last few weeks the people at our home have used paints, stickers, glitter and tissue paper to create the most beautiful, colourful flowers. They have cut them out and put them together to form a big flower for the Queens Platinum Jubilee.
This activity was enjoyed by everyone at the home, including people who couldn't get to the activities room to join us.  We brought flowers to the rooms of people who wanted to participate to ensure that everyone was included.

We are in full swing with our preparation for the Queens upcoming Jubilee.  There is much excitement amongst the people living with us.  We are currently working on a big display using flowers painted by the people at the home.  Looking forward to showing you all the final display.

Our resident's took advantage of the sunshine to do a bit of plant potting today .

Fresh air, relaxing music and a coffee went down a treat.

A lovely afternoon had by all.

Our lovely residents decided on life size guests for a welcoming display. After a lot of messy fun their guards came to life!

New Snack Stations have arrived at Hope Green. With the importance of keeping everyone in our home hydrated a priority, new snack stations have arrived for our residents to enjoy. They're proving to be very popular, and residents have commented that they love the choices that are provided. So, whether you're a shortbread and orange juice lover or if chocolate is your thing with a glass of blackcurrant juice, you won't be disappointed.

Platinum Jubilee decorations are filling our home at Hope Green and are extending to the gardens to give our visitors a Royal Welcome. Residents and staff have been busy creating in the craft club, and also out in the gardens with ribbons, bunting and bows. We're a great team at Hope Green and enjoy working alongside each other to celebrate events throughout the year and the Platinum Jubilee for our Queen is definitely something to celebrate in style.
