🦙 A Woolly Wonderful Day at Mayflower! 🦙
We had some very special (and very fluffy!) visitors at the home today. A huge thank you to Lower Bush Alpacas for bringing along two of the most adorable guests we’ve ever hosted: Hawthorne and Eric!
Our residents were absolutely delighted to meet these gentle boys. There were smiles all around as we spent the morning petting them and learning all about their quirky personalities.

Today's Highlights:
• Snack Time: Many of our residents got hands-on and enjoyed feeding Hawthorne and Eric their favorite treats! 🥕

• Sensory Joy: Everyone loved feeling how incredibly soft their fleece is—it was a wonderful sensory experience for all.

• New Friends: Eric and Hawthorne were total pros, making their way around to say hello to everyone and posing for plenty of photos.
It’s not every day you get an alpaca in the garden (or the lounge!), and the joy they brought to the home was truly heart-melting.

🇬🇧 St George’s Day Celebrations at Mayflower! 🌹
We had a proper "knees-up" yesterday at Mayflower Care Home to celebrate St George’s Day! The home was filled with music, laughter, and plenty of community spirit.
A massive thank you to the wonderful Sarah Starkey, who led us in a fantastic, old-fashioned cockney sing-along. From Lambeth Walk to Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner, the atmosphere was absolutely electric! 🎤🎹

What a wonderful day out! 🌿🐑

Our activities team had the pleasure of taking some of our residents to Frampton Farm, where we spent time meeting and cuddling the sweetest baby animals. From playful piglets and fluffy lambs to curious kids (baby goats), tiny chicks, adorable ducklings, and even a baby alpaca—there were smiles all around! 🐷🐥🦙

We made the most of the beautiful day with a lovely picnic together, enjoying fresh air, great company, and plenty of laughter. It was a truly heartwarming experience that brought back special memories and created some new ones too. 💛

A big thank you to everyone who made the day so special!

Today was a truly special day at Mayflower Care Home! 🦉✨

We had the wonderful opportunity to meet four beautiful owls – Eileen, Hayes, Zazu, and Bindi. Everyone was fascinated by these incredible birds and loved learning all about them.

The highlight of the day was getting the chance to hold two of the owls using a special glove – such a unique and memorable experience for our residents and staff alike!

A big thank you to everyone involved for bringing these amazing creatures to visit us. It’s safe to say there were lots of smiles and plenty of excitement all around! 💚

Mayflower Care Home celebrated St Patrick’s Day in true Irish style today! 🍀💚

Our fantastic activities team brought plenty of laughter as they donned inflatable leprechaun costumes, spreading joy and smiles throughout the home. Residents got into the spirit of the day by sampling a little Guinness and Irish liquor, making it a celebration to remember!

The fun continued this afternoon as we were joined by KiddleyDivey for a wonderful Irish-themed music and movement session. There was singing, dancing, and lots of happy moments shared by all.

A big thank you to everyone who helped make today so special – it’s safe to say the luck of the Irish was with us! 🍀
