Residents had a great time as they started to share stories of their laundry days as child. It's amazing how simple acts promote such strong memories. 

A huge thank you to our carers and our entire team from the bottom of our hearts. You are all amazing, we couldn't be without you all. 

What a beautiful day to get outside and have a bit of fun, so what if we had to create our own breeze. We had a great time playing games and we even managed to just sit for 5 minutes to enjoy the sun on the way back. 

We celebrated National Carer's Week by putting on an ice cream tasting day to say thank you to all our care staff. Residents and staff enjoyed several different flavours of ice cream together with cornets, lollies, wafers, sauces and sprinkles. 

Recently it was National Biscuit Day. Now don't be upset we never shared with you, we decided to save them all of us, we managed a lovely tea and biscuits session in the days honour. 

We’ve been reminiscing about summer holiday experiences – whether it was relaxing on the beach in Cornwall, lazing on a gondolier in Venice or enjoying a chilled white wine on a Parisian café terrace. At the beginning of June, the Italians celebrate ‘Republic Day’ as a national holiday, and we thought we would host an Italian inspired event to give people that holiday feeling, and what is more Italian than pizza making!

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.
