Pizza day here at Clarendon Court, what a great job we all did, preparing and then handing over to our chef to pop into the oven ready for our evening snack. 

When the sun is out some of our residents have enjoyed lunch al fresco. Others preferred to eat inside but ventured outside for a stroll after lunch instead. 

The residents and the children from the nursery next door were talking about the importance of recycling. For that reason the residents decided to use tins as pots where you can put seasonal flowers, showing the children an easy way to recycle. Apart from the tins, the residents also decorated plain ceramic pots with acrylic paint and sticks showing them their artistic skills. Finally, they planted begonias and succulent plants creating beautiful pots that have been displayed all around the garden. 

We are getting ready for St George's Day with music creating a happy vibe all round we made some placemats together for the day and we made some placemats together for the day and they made bunting to put all around the house. We are looking forward to a great day of celebration and hoping the sun will shine all day. 

We love celebrating birthdays but when it is a milestone birthday, we like to go that extra mile by celebrating in style!

Easter bonnets, karaoke and fun on Easter Day. All residents received either an Easter egg or an Easter gift and an Easter greetings card. 

We are very proud of our staff at Howgate House Care Home, for achieving a bronze status having their Covid-19 vaccinations. They are looking to achieve Silver status imminently.

Theresa was overjoyed at the numerous cards, flowers and gifts she received from family and friends which made her birthday so special.  The beautiful ombre birthday cake made by our very talented Head Chef Sam was just the icing on the cake, so to speak, as the celebrations lasted all day. 

We might not be getting out and about or having as many visitors as usual but it's still busy at Princess Lodge. Pam continues to enjoy her weekly manicure whilst friends like to get together to socialise over a jigsaw. 

We started Easter preparations early to ensure we were able to make all of our own Easter cards. It was a busy time but spurred on by tea and cake, Cynthia and Pamela did a fantastic job.
