VE Day Celebrations at Jasmine Court π
π
What a truly wonderful day we've had as we came together to celebrate VE Day in styleβfilled with joy, memories, music, and the spirit of togetherness.
Our beautiful garden was buzzing with laughter and chatter as residents and staff enjoyed a full day of activities: from flower arranging with a stunning VE Day-themed centrepiece, to quizzes, dancing, and our very own Vera Lynn-style βWeβll Meet Againβ sing-along that had everyone joining in with a smile.π€πΆ
We shared stories, remembered the past, and honoured the courage and resilience of those who lived through wartime Britainβcomplete with ration books, identity cards, gas masks, and even a nostalgic air-raid shelter setup to explore.
Afternoon tea was a true highlightβfresh scones with cream and jam, a delicious spread of wartime-inspired treats, and of course, plenty of cups of tea shared over cherished memories.βοΈπ«π§
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made today so specialβand to those we remember and celebrate on this day of peace and victory. VE Day reminds us of the strength in unity, and today we truly felt that warmth in every moment shared. β€οΈπ€π
Here's to happiness, community, and never forgetting the power of hope. π
