Many people who live here at Abingdon Court come from a rural background and have plenty of stories to tell about their days on the farm, or frolicking through fields amongst the livestock they had grown so fond of. World Milk Day celebrates and recognises the dairy industry and all of the hard working farmers who help to keep our agriculture thriving.

When the music flows, you've just got to bust a move. Dancing is the best form of exercise ever!

To celebrate the D Day anniversary on Sunday 6th June, the flags and bunting were out. Marianne entertained everyone with a tribute to the 1940s by singing songs such as Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy and White Cliffs of Dover. The residents really enjoyed singing along. 

The residents joined the celebrations of Volunteers Week, writing letters and thank you cards to the volunteers that collaborate with us. We wanted to say thank you to them for the amazing work that they do. 

We had a visit from Jim, our favourite ice cream man. Residents and staff enjoyed their ice creams which they had after eating fish and chips in paper trays to celebrate National Fish and Chip Day. 

We have had a large delivery of cakes supplied from the friends of Troutbeck which was a lovely surprise. The residents will really enjoy these this afternoon with their cups of tea.

Thank you for the lovely treats from all at Troutbeck Care Home. 

Dear Rachael,

Please will you convey our thanks to all your staff at Clarendon Court Care Home for the love and care you showed whilst looking after 'G'. We are truly thankful that G was discharged back to Clarendon Court from Leighton Hospital and allowed to die peacefully in the surroundings of people and in an environment he was comfortable with.

Everyone loves this beautiful weather we're having at the minute and we love spending time in the garden, the only problem is the weeds grow so quickly. Luckily Joyce enjoys gardening and is a huge help in keeping them at bay, of course relaxing with a well deserved cuppa afterwards is even better. Our strawberries are coming along well and it shouldn't be long before we can have our own home grown strawberries and cream for afternoon tea.

The first bit of sunshine and Faye is back out, this time she has been busy watering the flowerbeds. 

Ball games are a way to have fun whilst improving balance and coordination. Here is our Jenny having fun in the lovely sun.
