The residents and the staff at The Westbourne had a lot of fun on Easter Sunday. They enjoyed a visit from 4 lively chickens! Everyone sang along hymns, Amazing Grace being a favourite, they listened to a Bible reading and joined in saying the Lords prayer. The residents then enjoyed a lovely roast dinner made by our Chef for the celebration. In the afternoon, our activities lady, Tammy, dressed as a chicken to deliver an Easter Egg to all our wonderful residents. This concluded a day full of fun and celebration. 

Who doesn't enjoy a good foot spa and as it was National Foot Spa Day we set back and let the spa commence, we had a nice foot rub from the activity girls, what a lovely relaxing morning for us.  

Marianne showed residents how to decoupage terracotta pots, using paper napkins. It was a delicate operation to separate the layers of napkins, then stick to the pots with PVA glue, finished off with a varnish. 

On a weekly basis some off our residents enjoy making cake cookies and getting creative with cake decoration. This week we decided to make a chocolate chip cookie for our afternoon tea. It is a nice way to bring back memories not only from childhood but all the times when they have baked with their own loved ones.

What a fantastic evening they had. They enjoyed sitting down with a cup of tea and eating all our homemade cookies!

Happy Easter from Highfield!

The residents have been working hard and have been very busy making an Easter card and decorating some Easter eggs. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed being creative and having lots of fun together. Everyone enjoyed their individual chocolate bunny and enjoyed a chocolate egg from the nest which we created from chocolate arrangements! 

All residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the chicks who have now headed back to their farm in Yorkshire. The chicks definitely enjoyed their time here with us too! Happy Easter to everyone from all at Bowerfield Court. 

A long awaited opportunity to bask in the sunshine, on a warm March afternoon, as the ladies enjoyed listening to the birds, talking about the flowers, and getting well needed vitamin D. June relayed enchanting stories about her holidays to Wales, whilst we all listened enraptured. The ladies appeared to enjoy their walk around the gardens in the beautiful sunshine, whilst they held windmills, and watched as the wind spun them around, emitting vibrant colours against the sunshine.

We had an amazing Easter filled with fun games, chocolates, Simnel cake and hot cross buns. 

The residents enjoyed baking Chocolate Easter Eggs. Also, they tested their good sight in the garden during Easter Egg Hunting. Easter Eggs were hidden in the garden and the residents walked round trying to find them, you can see one of our residents showing in the basket all the eggs that she found in the garden.
