We had a lovely morning on May the 5th hosting "Time For A Cuppa". Our staff and residents held a fundraiser for Dementia UK, to ensure more families effected by dementia can receive the help and support from Admiral Nurses. We have personally felt the effects of the pandemic ourselves, and we would like to show our support to others that are suffering too. We had lots of gorgeous cake donated to the home and the residents thoroughly enjoyed the coffee morning. 

For VE Day in The Lodge, we have been making a display to commemorate all of the soldiers coming home to their families. Today we have had a coffee morning while we reminisced on photo's of street parties, Winston Churchill, newspaper clippings and soldiers being merry. We sang some songs from that era including songs from Vera Lynn and George Formby amongst many others and enjoyed a quiz.

The residents at The Westbourne celebrated VE Day listening and singing along told old time war songs such as we'll meet again and white cliffs of Dover. Everyone had flags to wave. Some residents had flags or stripes painted on their faces to mark the occasion. Our chef baked us a cake and we decorated it with raspberries and blueberries. Everyone enjoyed a buffet tea to celebrate. A good day had by all. 

A big Happy International Nurses Day from us all at Croft House. To celebrate our nurses at Croft house the Home Manager, Martin, made the most delicious cake and in the colours of the Romanian Flag as all three of our nurses are from Romania. 

White Rose Lodge would like to say a huge thank you to Reverend Maxine and The Priory for their lovely donation of handmade goods and cream eggs for our residents here. The residents are very thankful and love hearing from Reverend Maxine. The generous gifts have been loved by all, thank you. 

Everyone at White Rose Lodge would like to say a huge thank you to Tesco for their generous donation of hand sanitiser. It will be a great help for us in preventing the spread of coronavirus and keeping Covid at bay. 

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!".
