The backdrop was created by activities coordinator Marianne, residents helped to put up the balloons and decorations. The cake was made by one of our carers in the company colours. Marianne decorated it with a Mardi Gras Mask, feathers, flowers, butterflies and baubles. 

Great performance from our entertainers today, Al and Ian from Music In Mind did themselves proud with their 60s and 70s songs. The residents sang along and enjoyed the afternoon. 

The residents at Mary Chapman had a treat with a visit from Elvis. He didn't disappoint (especially the ladies!) as he sang and danced his way through an hour of Rock n Roll and of course Elvis songs!

Hope Green have some new arrivals in their garden and they include two lovely yellow ducks! One of our residents families has been delivering new ornaments for our garden and each week there is a new surprise. They have included a panda and a monkey! This weeks two little ducks brought conversation about bingo calling and we couldn't resist having a photo of them. We're incredibly thankful for such thoughtfulness and we'll be enjoying them all summer.

This afternoon our residents enjoyed a game of bingo. 

Margaret helped to paint and decorate Mardi Gras Masks for the party.

We have been enjoying time spent outside today at Troutbeck. The chess set is set up in the beautiful courtyard ready for the next players to see if they can win.

The sun was out in its full splendour and so were the Knights Court residents! Our residents enjoyed engaging in numerous different outdoor activities this week including lawn bowls. 

Our beautiful garden was filled with song and dance as we held an early D-Day celebration along with a special performance from the D-Day Dollies. We had so much fun welcoming back live entertainment to our home!.
