The Home Manager made a Simnel cake for the staff and residents and delivered chocolates and sweet treats to everyone. The staff loved the cake with some even thinking he had purchased it.

On St Patricks Day recently everyone decided to get out in the sunshine. Granted it was a bit parky but that didn't deter us at all. Everyone undertook two laps of the garden in a relay, once their laps were completed they handed the baton, so to speak, to another person. There was Irish music in the background which encouraged everyone to sing along and incorporate a little Irish jig as they completed their laps. This built up quite an appetite to enjoy the amazing Irish Beef and Guinness pie for lunch and very tasty colcannon soup to start.

The clocks have changed and so has the weather - we all welcome the sunshine.

Vicky Swindells was voted for by staff and residents for always being cheerful and helping in any situation. David Smith was nominated by a member of the public, Dave helped the lady in distress restart her car and she took the time to ring us and let us know how helpful, polite and caring he was!

Well done and keep up the good work. 

As we stay hydrated through the lovely weather we are seeing we selected a variety of different waters to try from watermelon flavour, tonic, soda to our favourite being apple and elderflower, as we all know  it is very important to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. 

The staff at Bowerfield Court had some fun with the hand glow germ yesterday, identifying their hand washing skills showing if there was any room for improvement. 

Who doesn't enjoy cheese and crackers, today we had a selection of cheeses from cheddar to brie and halloumi accompanied by a variety of different crackers and chutneys, a delightful afternoon treat!

We have been busy planting bulbs indoors, we've chosen lillies to nurture ensuring they have enough water and sunlight to blossom we shall keep you updated with their progress.  

We are aiming to have a fantastic Easter this year and everyone in the home is super busy getting ready for the Easter celebration.
