Do you like our colourful photobooth frame which we have made during our arts and crafts morning? We had fun taking selfies with one another which we shared with some of our relatives. 

Kicking off Easter weekend we here at Manorhey have enjoyed our homemade Hot Cross buns toasted with butter. 

We have received lovely Easter handmade cards from Hall Croft Infants and St Swithun’s Primary School. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone involved. Our residents thought they were lovely and said how kind of you all to take the time to make them.

We had a donation of Easter eggs, donuts, hot cross buns and handmade Easter cards from St Swithun's and Hall Croft Infant School.  We are very appreciative for the lovely gift and the time and effort made by Morrisons. 

In preparation for Easter, we spent an afternoon making Easter bonnets. Everyone chose what they wanted on their hats and created beautiful Easter bonnet, which they can wear on Easter Sunday. Everyone enjoyed making them and couldn't wait to wear them on Sunday. 

Today we enjoyed the glorious weather, the sun was shining and so it was a great excuse to bring out our ice cream van. The residents enjoyed the ice cream van with traditional ice cream van music. We all enjoyed different flavoured ice cream  including the 99. 

Rodger the Rabbit and his friends paid Ashmead Care Centre a visit during the Easter Weekend. In addition to creating joy and laughter, they also treated the residents to gifts of Spring flowers and individual Easter Eggs.

Not one room, lounge or dining room were missed during this very special visit when all staff also joined in the fun of the occasion.

On Good Friday our residents enjoyed hot cross buns while taking part in an Easter quiz. One resident said "this takes me back to when I was young" and we discussed different Easter memories. For those who preferred more art and craft, these residents coloured in Easter themed pictures and we 'planted' them around the home. 

Woodland residents have created the most wonderful artwork for their Easter display, including chicks made from their hand prints and gorgeous bright daffodils that were suspended from the ceiling. After their hard work everyone enjoyed a special afternoon tea.  

We had a lovely surprise at Birch Heath Lodge the lovely ladies from Southcroft Health care dropped by with some Easter Eggs for staff and residents. A big thank you to Karen and Stacey for the lovely treat from Amalia our Home Manager and all the team at Birch Heath Lodge.
