🧘‍♀️ Guided Meditation 🧘

Meditation can be especially beneficial for elderly residents in a care setting, as they promote both mental and physical wellbeing in a gentle, accessible way. Regular practice can help reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness, while also improving sleep and emotional balance. We chose bergamot and lemon essential oils in our air diffuser today to deeply relax the mind.

Happy St Patricks day! We are enjoying an Irish themed quiz followed by some traditional Irish food for lunch, and a Guinness cake for dessert 😋

In fields of green where shamrocks grow,
And gentle winds of Ireland blow,
We gather here with hearts so light,
To share in joy this special sight.

On St. Patrick’s Day, so warm and bright,
We wear our green with pure delight,
With songs that echo soft and sweet,
And friendly smiles for all we meet.

May laughter linger in the air,
And kindness find us everywhere,
With cups of cheer and stories told,
Of days gone by, both brave and bold.

For every heart, both young and wise,
Holds treasured dreams and memories,
And on this day, we celebrate
The love that makes our lives so great.

So here’s to friends both near and far,
You’re each a shining, guiding star,
May peace and happiness stay near,
This St. Patrick’s Day and all the year. 🍀

Raisin Flapjacks on the menu today!
Well done to our residents for baking up todays Tea time snack for this evening! Thank you to our 6th form volunteers for helping us today!

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan and line a 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof baking paper.

Step 2
In a large saucepan, heat the golden syrup, sugar and unsalted butter over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved and the butter has melted, being careful not to bring to the boil.

Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the salt.

Step 4
Pour the porridge oats into the saucepan and mix everything together until the oats are evenly coated with the syrup mixture.

Step 5
Add the flapjack mixture into the prepared tin.

Step 6
Using an angled spatula/back of a spoon, firmly press it down until level.

Step 7
Bake in the oven for 25 mins, or until the edges have started to brown.

Step 8
Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature in the tin.

Step 9
Once cool, remove the flapjack from the tin and slice into squares using a sharp knife.

Let us know how your flapjacks turn out in the comments!
