Well done to Appletree Court and Chef Ali for this outstanding Maltesers cake replicating the chocolates falling from the packet. The cake base was a lemon sponge with flakes all around the sides. The judging panel commented “It's a marvel as to how you did that – A triumph !”

It wasn’t just the cake itself that was so special, it was a real team effort as everyone in the home got involved by making Easter decorations that included bunting, pom poms and some knitted animals.

Congratulations and enjoy your winning hamper.

What is more comforting than the smell of baking on a wet rainy day? What delicious results we enjoyed. We mixed our dough in the morning, and after lunch we rolled, cut and baked. The resulting biscuits were delicious and the shared experience meant smiles all around.

It was great to see residents and staff exploring music together this week. Using the keyboard prompted one of our residents to talk about how she had spent many pleasurable hours playing the piano and even the organ too. There was no hesitation, she got herself organised and promptly played chords of 'D' 'C' 'F' and explained to the group the importance of 'the melody'! We were all very impressed and listened with interest as she shared her memories with us.

We have had such fun at Clarendon Court decorating our Easter Bonnets. I'm sure you will agree that the winning hats are just fantastic and well deserving of a prize. We can't wait for our Easter Bonnet parade now!

We received chocolates for the staff from family of a late resident 

At Ashfield Court we looked over lots of books and shared all the memories of walking that some of the residents had done! What a lovely afternoon with lots of happy residents

For the Easter Challenge we have been doing a lot of baking! We have made 2 Easter themed cakes to be enjoyed by our residents with a lovely cup of tea.

Everyone enjoyed taking part in Manorhey's Got Talent by showing off their singing voices. Everyone had lots of fun with one another, duetting and dancing to their favourite tunes!

In preparation for our St Patrick's Day party we decorated the lounge/dining hall with balloons, banners and lots of other fun decorations.

At our St Patrick's Day party we had many different activities on each table for all our residents to take part in.
