Cake and Waffle Decorating
There was so much laughter yesterday morning at Hope Green as residents and staff gathered together to decorate cupcakes and even some waffles too! Buttercream, chocolate buttons and sprinkles were an absolute success on a dull autumn morning and perfect with our morning tea and coffee at 11am. It was wonderful to see everyone choosing carefully and even showing their individual creative flair. It's always good to spend time together, we used our fine motor skills to decorate and then eat our wonderful creations.

Thank You To Allingham
"Hi James,
I just wanted to say a massive thank you from myself and V for the support, comfort and love shown to my Mum. We have been on some rollercoasters with Allingham but I have to say that currently I have the highest regard for all your staff and facilities.
I was blown away by the amount of staff that visited Mum this week, with genuine affection and care for her. I know my Mum could be a handful and apologise to anyone that received a back hand from her, she did have a cheeky and naughty streak through her but was the kindest lady anyone could meet.

Bowerfield House Hot Dog Day
Bowerfield House had a fantastic week, we celebrated Hot Dog Day and Carols 77th birthday. Me and Ron also enjoyed a trip down to the pub, he enjoyed his pint and a lovely chat. Everyone loved their Hot Dogs, we talked about all the different topping you can put on a hot dog, we enjoyed ours with onions and ketchup.

Balloon Race
Keen to enjoy the lovely September sunshine we decided to hold a balloon race in the garden. There was a lot of laughter as we cheered the competitors on. As always, our chef and their team produced a fantastic buffet.
