We had a fabulous day celebrating Muriel's 103rd Birthday in April. We are so pleased to have been able to be part of this amazing day with the most amazing lady. We had cake and a little tea party and Muriel received lots of presents and had such a lovely day. 

We always enjoy our themed nights at Skell Lodge and this week our residents requested to have Indian Cuisine. We enjoyed different starters which included onion bahjis, lamb and vegetable samosas, curries, rice, naan breads and poppadoms for our main meal and then gateaux for dessert with a beer or a glass of wine to wash it all down with. 

We are loving getting out again in the garden during the sunny weather and starting to plant our flowers. Here at The Moors we have extensive gardens and our residents love picking the flowers and potting them in the flower beds. We are hoping to add a Greenhouse to the garden soon so we can start to grow our own vegetables. 

It was a very busy day today at The Moors. We recreated Salvador Dali's watch out of clay and the Queen was entering the Parliament. Some of our Ladies had their hair done for this special day. In the afternoon we was strolling around in the Salvador Dali Museum, of course virtually. The residents said "We loved it!".

We decided not to wait until National Donut Day to have a sweet treat. Our residents tried some new flavours whilst reminiscing about the traditional jam and sugar donuts from their childhood. 

Ahead of Chelsea Flower Show next week, some of our residents had fun creating their own artificial arrangements. 

The residents enjoyed a very special Happy Hour last Friday to celebrate VE Day. We decorated the Allingham Arms with Union Jack flag bunting and the residents could enjoy their favourite drinks, singing and dancing a selection of The Greatest Hits from the 30s and 40s. 

It was a wonderful atmosphere at Hope Green on Saturday as we remembered VE Day together. Reminiscing about street parties, and waving flags and pom poms with a great singalong made for a fantastic time. Residents also enjoyed some dancing, a game of Tin Can Ally and afternoon scones with jam and cream. 

We had 2 winners for worker bee of the month in April. Isaac our kitchen assistant was nominated for going above and beyond at all times. Hayley our new carer was nominated for her positive attitude. Thank you and keep up the great work. 

We had an entertainer in to sing for us last week, he sang from the pod and everyone had a wonderful time. We've never had so many dancers on the floor and needless to say, everyone slept well that night, including the staff.
