Flavoured Water Tasting

As we stay hydrated through the lovely weather we are seeing we selected a variety of different waters to try from watermelon flavour, tonic, soda to our favourite being apple and elderflower, as we all know  it is very important to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated. 

Cheese Tasting

Who doesn't enjoy cheese and crackers, today we had a selection of cheeses from cheddar to brie and halloumi accompanied by a variety of different crackers and chutneys, a delightful afternoon treat!

Planting Indoor Bulbs

We have been busy planting bulbs indoors, we've chosen lillies to nurture ensuring they have enough water and sunlight to blossom we shall keep you updated with their progress.  

Easter Prep

We are aiming to have a fantastic Easter this year and everyone in the home is super busy getting ready for the Easter celebration. 

Red Nose Day

All the residents had lots of fun celebrating Red Nose Day, it was a busy day. There was pompom making from the crafty amongst us whilst other baked cakes. There was something for everyone with plenty of Red Nose themed activities through the day. 

Reading Club

Here at Belvoir Vale Care Homes, we had a beautiful sunny Thursday and took advantage of the sunshine by taking our reading group outside. We enjoyed listening to one of our residents reading out loud for us all to hear. There was much group discussion afterwards over a cup of coffee. We could even hear the ducks and ducklings who seemed to be replying to our residents reading from over the hedge.

Beautiful Weather

Our residents enjoying being outside in the beautiful weather with the duo Ian and Al singing some of our favourite songs for us. We all enjoyed getting out in the fresh air, celebrating the lovely weather with a sherry and donuts.  

Daffodils

With the weather warming and daffodils blooming, spring is definitely on its way. At Buckingham House we have a number of residents who are very adept at creating fresh flower centre pieces for the restaurant and who could resist daffodils? Such joyful flowers, guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's faces.   

Red Arrows Surprise Fly Past

Today we had an unexpected visit from Red Arrows flying over Buckingham House. They are always an amazing sight and never fail to generate excitement. We were all delighted and this prompted lots of chats and reminiscing about the past long after they had roared overhead.  

Under The Sea

Our Under the Sea theme week was extended by a couple of extra days as we had to postpone our singer last week. However, we finished on a high note with beautiful sunshine for our singer Paul Martin. Some residents were very happy to have their faces painted, others were happy to sport fishy stickers. Sadly 3 members of the staff were eaten by the shark.
