We celebrated Valentine's Day with chocolates! All the residents received some chocolates and we all talked about what love meant to us from a warm fuzzy feeling inside to being warmed and cared for! 

We all decided we love our families and miss them very much. 

We celebrated Valentine's Day with with chocolates, wine and beautiful flowers. 

We celebrated Chinese New Year with Chinese food and origami crafts, we also wrote residents names in Chinese.

Bowerfield House would like to say a heartfelt 'Thank You' to Down To Earth, a florist in High Lane. Our residents and staff absolutely loved the beautiful roses that were sent to us on Valentine's Day. Thank you for thinking of us and brightening our day. 

Both residents helped with our Valentines Celebrations, we decorated some vases and re-arranged our table decorations with some new red roses. Our Valentines Day will be celebrated with the dining room being decorated with balloons and table cloths and our lovely roses, finished with our chefs valentine menu and heart shaped chocolates to finish. We will also have the lovely Bluebird girls valentine show to watch later on in the afternoon. Some of our residents family have sent in video messages to their loved ones. 

Today, 12th February, we celebrated 'Chinese New Year'. The dining room was decorated with lanterns and bunting and residents were treated to a fab Chinese meal, getting our taste buds going it was a huge success, smiles all round...and clean plates!

This is a picture of our monthly donation from Margaret Bradie community champion at Asda Falkirk. Margaret has been making monthly donations to the home for over 7 months now. Every month is different. This month we have asked for sketch pads and pencils for our new art class. We have long standing connections with Asda but they have been amazing through this pandemic. Sweets and toiletries are always welcome at Thorntree. 

Today we have thoroughly enjoyed our daily walk and fresh air in our garden this morning, the weather was pleasant enough to enjoy a chit chat on the bench. What a lovely morning, such a great feeling to be out!

The theme for February is 'Peace and Love' as we celebrate the hippy era. A fun atmosphere, as staff join in celebrating peace and love! Enjoyed by all our residents!

We have expanded our regular treat trolley to include more exotic fruits. Residents have a variety of options so they are in control of what the choose dependant on how they feel on the day and may be tempted to try something new.
