Last week we celebrated national BBQ week with our residents by enjoying a lovely BBQ lunch. Residents enjoyed hot dogs and burgers with condiments which we washed down with a cold glass of coke which was perfect as the sun came out.

We had a party yesterday at Acorn House to boost everyone's morale and to celebrate an end in sight to lockdown restrictions, we're all looking forward to getting back to some normality. We welcomed back our favourite singer Luke and had a great time with lots of singing and dancing and sampling some delicious fruity mocktails.

We are all incredibly proud of our England players for the performance they put on, both in the final and throughout the Euro 2020 tournament, despite being beaten in the final. Hopefully football will come home next year in the World Cup.

National Pina Colada Day was a huge success at Hope Green with a celebration in the garden on a lovely summer day. After dressing the garden in colourful bunting and palm trees, our own cocktail bar was serving pineapple juice with coconut or refreshing lemonade. Flower garlands and hats for everyone added to the summer vibe and it was a great way to spend time together, enjoy friendships and make new ones too.

We've been enjoying decorating our own doughnuts here at Bowerfield Court. We chose from a variety of colours and toppings and enjoyed creating some masterpieces. We all agreed however that the very best part of the activity was eating them!

Birch Heath Lodge staff and residents enjoyed celebrating the first MMCG Carers Day. Staff loved the cakes and drinks and we thank the catering staff for their input to ensure that carers have a day where it is all about them.

Wimbledon fever was reaching fever point as the Ladies Semi Finals were at the forefront of everyone’s minds at Ashmead.  To get the afternoon started people living and working at Ashmead gathered together in the bar to enjoy, strawberries, “bucks fizz” and scones.  Wimbledon is so local to us we are now counting down to finals weekend.

Bowerfield House staff and residents would like to wish our beautiful Adin Beth a very Happy 30th Birthday and we hope you have a fantastic day and we hope you enjoy your much needed time off celebrating your birthday with your family. We look forward to catching up with Beth on her return back to work.

We have very artistic people living at Riverview such as Fidela who makes some beautiful flower arrangements. She is as beautiful as the flowers with her big smile.

Our activities team have been busy and continue with an full activity and social calendar to keep everyone as busy as they want to be, with pamper days, games to improve co-ordination, ladies and gentleman’s clubs and so much more.

If you have not met our activity team, please do introduce yourself to them on your next visit.

 

The home is decorated with flags and banners and everyone at Riverview is getting excited about the Euros and England reaching the final.  We have so many cultures and nationalities of people living with us but today were are all singing from the same song sheet, mostly Three Lions and Sweet Caroline.
