Our Albert the veg man was in a very sore state and needed some TLC, our Administrator Kirsty said her mum enjoyed painting and was willing to give him a makeover for us, we were really grateful for this and awaited the results with bated breath. 

Although the weather has not been very friendly staff and residents at Birch Heath Lodge decided to bring the sunshine in the home. We enjoyed a Seaside Party with a Punch and Judy show and seaside inspired games. With National BBQ week just around the corner we decided to make a day out of it with a lovely BBQ provided by the catering staff. 

At Bowerfield House we celebrated her majesty Queen Elizabeth's 95th birthday. Our residents wrote her a birthday card and Barry posted it in our own private post box. Special visit form HRH to Bowerfield House where Barry presented her his birthday card.

The purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtles and tortoises. At Princess Lodge we researched facts about sea turtles and tortoises and how pollution in the ocean is effecting their habitat whilst painting some beautiful pictures. 

It was National Cheese Day recently, who could resist a cheese and wine afternoon? A wide range of cheeses were prepped by the Head Chef, coupled with a selection of biscuits and a glass of wine. 

As well as trying lots of tasty Italian Food we also used a selection of fresh ingredients to top our pizza which we enjoyed for dinner that evening. Bellissima! 

A huge thank you to our carers and our entire team from the bottom of our hearts. You are all amazing, we couldn't be without you all. 

What a beautiful day to get outside and have a bit of fun, so what if we had to create our own breeze. We had a great time playing games and we even managed to just sit for 5 minutes to enjoy the sun on the way back. 

We celebrated National Carer's Week by putting on an ice cream tasting day to say thank you to all our care staff. Residents and staff enjoyed several different flavours of ice cream together with cornets, lollies, wafers, sauces and sprinkles. 

Recently it was National Biscuit Day. Now don't be upset we never shared with you, we decided to save them all of us, we managed a lovely tea and biscuits session in the days honour.
