Here at Highfield we are really enjoying flower arranging every week and create beautiful bouquets out of fresh flowers, which some of come from our Home garden!
We have been displaying them around the home. We are really happy about the results and everyone is enjoying looking at them.

Happy Birthday to two of our wonderful lady residents! Fabulous party afternoon at Cavendish Court. Wine, songs and lots of cake.

Lovely afternoon had by all. 

Today we had clay modelling and it was an instant hit with some of our residents, giving us great ideas and the chance to paint the models at a later date.

The weekly armchair cruise is a very popular activity for the residents as many of our residents are so well travelled.

Catherine lives at Abingdon Court and is such a friendly and helpful lady.

She works alongside the staff team to prepare snacks such as cakes, biscuits and fruit and refreshments, which she then delivers to resident's rooms.  She is always available for a chat and is always full of joy.

Gillian is such a happy and delightful lady. Until recently she enjoyed a regular manicure and having her nails looking bright and colourful. Mona one of our fantastic Activity Coordinators arranged the ultimate salon experience, a hand pampering session for residents.  This included a gentle relaxing hand massage followed by nail painting if the resident so wished. 

Residents and staff joined together to celebrate David's 91st birthday, which he thoroughly enjoyed, with a special cake from his family, depicting his favourite hobby, fishing. It was almost a shame to cut it. 

We have lots of Halloween fun at Parksprings, with lots of events and dress up. Staff held a Halloween Ball, with food, drink, games and pumpkin carving. It was a great day for everyone. 

Exciting constructions are happening at Parksprings! We have a new log cabin in the grounds 'Rosie's Den'. Your can see it is nearing completion and we are all looking forward to using the cabin, particularly if Government guidelines allow us to use it for visits. 

We held an afternoon tea at Thorntree Mews, for our residents and had a lovely afternoon going through our letters and cards from "Postcards of Kindness". Since we joined at the beginning of lockdown we have received lots of letters and cards from all over. Today we replied to Eve who wrote to us from France and chatted about Eve renovating an old cottage there and how she is enjoying the slower pace of life. Eve is originally from Cardiff says she will send us some photos of their progress. The ladies really enjoyed today and would like to do it again soon.
