Today at Bluebell Park we started our morning by arranging some beautiful flowers to display around the home.

Residents enjoyed naming some of their favourites and learning some new names and facts about fragrant shrub foliage.

This afternoon on our Memory Lane community, residents came together to look through the Boots reminiscing box.

Smelling the Wright's traditional soap brought back familiar scents to the residents who then began discussing with one another about their favourite things to buy.

The ladies make up and hair accessories were the talking point and many of our ladies commented on who they would let do their hair and how they liked their make up.

Remembrance Sunday 🎖

Today we reflect and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice and to those who return but never the same, together as a Nation.

This morning our residents watched the live coverage of Remembrance Sunday, at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London.
We marked this very special day by holding a two-minute silence as we observed the wreath laying ceremony, and looked on at the march of nearly 10,000 veterans.

This afternoon we had our special remembrance service, held by our local Chaplain Alison. All three communities at Bluebell joined together in our reception area, wearing their poppies with pride.

Today we remembered,
We remembered those who served before
We remembered those who are no more
We remembered those who serve today
We remembered them all on remembrance day.

Lest we forget 🌺🪖
