Our sweet shop was open for business

As part of our garden party we had an original Daily Mail copy of the coronation from 1953 and also a copy of the illustrated London news which contains amazing pictures from the Queens life.

We celebrated the Queens birthday by Planting a tree for the Queens Green Canopy initiative, created to mark Her Majesty's Platinum jubilee which invites people from across the nation to plant a tree for the jubilee, we chose a flowering Cherry.

We had a wonderful day, the sun was shining and we were able sit outside, we had a mini picnic with lots of lovely drinks, it is always great to see our residents having a great time and this was no exception the sunshine made a welcome appearance and we look forward to many more fun days outdoors.

Clarendon Court are over the moon to have won the Regional Easter Decoration Competition! There was lots of team work by staff and the residents to produce this beautiful Easter Wreath. Well done Clarendon Court!

Here at Birch Heath our residents got creative for Easter they made some daffodils and also created a wreath for the front door. In the main reception we created a cherry blossom arch and an Easter forest.

Alexandra court certainly made a lovely Easter display for residents, families and staff to enjoy. We had lots of lovely comments from visitors!

Well done Alexandra Court who are the runner up in the regional Easter decoration competition.

We celebrated The Queen's 96th birthday with tea and cream and jam scones followed by a great sing a long!

Everyone love Queens Elizabeth, so in celebration of the Queen's Birthday we did a tea party, with delicious treats cooked by our kitchen team.

We made the most of the sunny weather today and enjoyed some activities outdoors as well as enjoying our lunch there too. Doreen and Gillian put their compost in the pots and sprinkled in the seeds for their chosen flowers, once all our pots were filled we watered them carefully and placed them in the sunshine keeping our fingers crossed they will grow.

The sun was shining today, so we had a lovely trip to the ice cream shop and then the park. The residents all enjoyed their favourite flavour of ice cream and once we had finished we made our way to the local park. The park was busy with dogs and their owners. We were very lucky as we got to see lots of dogs playing and being trained, which we loved watching. Some small dogs took a liking to our group and the residents enjoyed giving them lots of attention and asking questions about them.
