The residents really enjoyed tucking into some pancakes, some choosing the traditional sugar and lemon toppings, while some indulged in some cream, marshmallows and chocolate sprinkles. A really tasty treat! We care about trying different foods and treating ourselves.

We had a lovely afternoon yesterday celebrating with one of our residents, Emily, a big happy birthday to you 😊😊😊💕

This afternoon we celebrated Chopin's Birthday! We listened to some very powerful classical music with Drinks and Nibbles, a great afternoon had by all ! 😊😊

We celebrated Valentines day at the home and our residents had a lovely time. First we designed our table mats which we printed off and laminated ready to set the tables, we then made valentines day cards for all of our residents which Doreen and I delivered in the morning. When it was near lunch time we set our tables with our Valentines day Theme and served a lovely glass of Non Alcoholic wine or beer with their lunch.

This week in arts and craft the residents continued to produce some great work.  Using a template of a ballerina (to form a silhouette) and blending coloured paint onto canvass they created some wonderful painting which they were extremely proud of.  Attached are come photos during and after the activity.

As part of the St David's Day celebrations we had a concert by Mary Gorniak who visited and played for us some Welsh inspired music on her flute and piccolo.  Everybody in attendance enjoyed the performance very much and had a wonderful afternoon.

World Book Day is coming to Buckingham House and we are getting props ready it. Our theme is Alice in Wonderland and so we are getting our mad hatters, Alice bands and rabbit ears at the ready.

The pancake has a very long history and featured in cookery books as far back as 1439 and in that time that has been very different varieties and styles.  At Kents Hill we had some of those varieties and also lots of different toppings to go on top too.  The people living at the home had a great time trying them all out.

We celebrated opening of our newly decorated hair salon with a glass of Prosecco for all of our customers.

Carol one of our Senior Carers and Chantal Kennedy, the hairdresser can be seen popping the cork.

At Ashfield Court we celebrated Shove Tuesday and St David's Day! This morning we had some lovely cake and had a 'talk about the history of shove Tuesday!' Then at lunch time the lovely Celia tossed a pancake up in the air 20 times! We then served the residents lovely warm pancakes with all different toppings!
