Everyone here at Bowerfield Court are looking forward to the run up to Easter. We have lots of activities planned, starting off today with a very special delivery. We currently have eight eggs in an incubator preparing to hatch. We will share updates over the next couple of weeks to show their progress. It's safe to say, all residents and staff are very eggcited.  

Here at Highfield Care Home we were really excited to celebrate Mother’s Day!  All the Mothers enjoyed many flowers and cards from their children and loved ones. The staff made sure we had lots of tea and cupcakes ready to give to all our residents to celebrate their own mothers. Everyone had a wonderful day.

As it was Mother’s Day we thought we would celebrate with a wine and cheese party. All the residents were very excited as we had been making beautiful art work to display on this special occasion. Everyone enjoyed the day with singing and dancing. The food was especially lovely, and everyone enjoyed it. 

Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig) The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland and celebrates the heritage and culture of the Irish in general.

We had a fish supper at The Belvedere this week. All residents enjoyed their dinner along with a glass of wine or a bottle of beer. 

We are starting off our herb garden. The residents had lots of fun potting the seeds and a mindful to keep them watered. 

Mothering Sunday at Manorhey was lovely, we enjoyed an afternoon tea with cakes, sandwiches and scones with cream and jam and tea served in china. All mums here and including Grandmas received beautiful cards, gifts and flowers which really did make their day special. 

Our team are ready to celebrate St Patrick's Day with our residents. 

As part of our monthly visits to different countries we decided to go to Mexico. We decorated our home ready for a Mexico themed fun-filled day which we ended with a fiesta. We dressed in sombreros and ponchos and enjoyed tacos and nachos with cheese, salsa and sour cream dips. Many residents had never tried Mexican food which to their surprise they loved. 

To celebrate St David's Day we filled Riverview with daffodils and enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea. In the words of St David, "Be joyful, keep the faith and do the little things that you have heard and seen me do."
