On this day our Kitchen Chef prepared a delicious Chicken Curry for our lunch today. One of the residents requested for another plate of it. It was very nice to have a rice meal like this once in a while. Thank you, Joey (Chef)

We all enjoyed eating Gluten-Free Oats Flap Jacks made by our very own kitchen chef. It was served with chocolates dip, colourful sprinkles and marsh mallows. Some other residents had time to decorate their own flap jack before eating it. It was fun and healthy day for everyone.

At Hope Green we created a display to celebrate German Apple Day which sparked conversation particularly from our German resident about German apple cake/pie and memories of her time in Germany. We went on to taste some different varieties of apples dipped in cinnamon sugar, a lovely treat enjoyed by many of the residents.

Exploring the garden during January has been proving to be delightful for both residents and staff. The start of a New Year and feeling the winter sunshine on our faces has been a real tonic for us along with checking our flowering primulas and replenishing our bird feeders. We found ourselves counting our steps as we walked along the pathways, singing songs, and even discovered some of our lovely garden ornaments which we were gifted to us in the summer. Whilst spring may not be on the horizon just yet we're grateful for winter days which we can enjoy outside together.

Anne had fun this morning getting creative making a card to send to her family. She smiled when she realized it matched the hearts on her top.

Vera spent the afternoon doing a virtual tour of her homeland Italy, she really enjoyed herself she then made a fan whilst listening to Italian music.

It turns out taking the Christmas tree down is just as much fun as putting it up. Smiles and giggles all round from our fabulous helpers Faye and Vera.

Happy New Year from Windmill Court

A relaxing afternoon of craft and colouring was enjoyed by residents at Hope Green. Residents were interested in choosing colours to experiment with in their colouring whilst others started our project of crafts in readiness for some events coming up this month. It was wonderful to join in conversations and enjoy each others company whilst focusing on some relaxing creativity.

Three members of our wonderful team, all received a gift voucher and card for their hard work and going above and beyond in their roles.

Congratulations to Acacia – Carer, Jeremy – Reception and Darren – Senior Carer.
