Last week our residents received a lovely surprise flower delivery from a local supermarket Tesco, Marks farm The beautiful blooms brightened everyone’s day, brought smiles to so many faces, and created such a warm and happy atmosphere throughout the home. Small acts of kindness like this truly make a big difference. 🌸💐😊

This week, residents enjoyed a visit to Markshall Estate in Coggeshall 🌳🦌

We had Tea & Coffee with the most delicious Scones in Mrs Salisbury’s Tea Room ☕️
Afterwards we took in the view of the pretty lake and the beautiful gardens.

We couldn’t leave without a look around the Gift shop.
Ann loved looking at all the trinkets whilst Pat loved seeing the old photographs and reading about the history of Markshall 🧡

A great little trip to Cherry Lane garden centre this morning 😀

We picked a good day to go with the sun shining and blue skies ☀️

Tony, Christine and John loved looking at all the plants and the garden ornaments 🪻🦔
Also enjoying a cuppa and some delicious food at the cafe ☕️

We then picked some plants for the garden and John also wanted to buy plants for his windowsill, he chose some lovely Geraniums 🪴

A successful trip out 🫶

Our wedding-themed activity brought residents together to celebrate love, memories, and special moments from years gone by.
With music, decorations, and gentle fun, it was a lovely way to reminisce and share stories at our own little Wedding Fayre 👰🤵🏼💐

A special thanks to Pat and Eve for sharing their beautiful wedding albums with us and to Pats daughter for the loan of the gorgeous dress 🥰

Another glorious day in the sunshine ☀️ 😎
This morning we visited ‘The Booking Hall cafe’ in Rayne for a cuppa & cake.
The residents also got to see some very cute animals from ‘Gemma’s Farm’ who was holding a Petting Zoo event there 😀

This afternoon residents enjoyed a glass of wine in the garden, lots of conversation, laughing and reminiscing together 🧡
