Creature Feature visited us and bought various reptiles including a tortoise, Blue tongued Skink, a Bearded Dragon and also a Shongololo – an African millipede to you and me!!! All units were visited and all interested residents had a look. The residents and their visitors were curious to find out their names, touch and hold them. We talked about the sensations and feelings from the legs and tongues of the animals and everybody enjoyed the afternoon.

🎾🍓 Wimbledon Fun Across Our Homes 🎾🥂

Residents and patients across the country had a delightful time following the annual Wimbledon tennis tournaments.

Many homes and hospitals were decorated with themed flags and banners, as residents and patients engaged in a range of enjoyable activities, including mini tennis championships, quizzes and interactive sessions.

The big tennis enthusiasts were thrilled to watch the famous matches virtually from the comfort of their armchairs and to join the afternoon tea parties with strawberries and cream, Pimm’s and champagne.

Everyone had a fantastic time!

Take a look at some of our favourite moments in the photos below.

Launceston Steam And Vintage Railway provided us with a lovely drive out in the country side.

Before we boarded the train, we had a look around the museum items and chatted about what we found. The weather was perfect for an afternoon in the fresh air and we thoroughly enjoyed travelling on the train as well as smelling the burning coal and hearing the whistle blow.

We have babies again this year. The gardens are full of wildlife and if you sit really quietly, the baby squirrels – or kittens as they are called – come out to play. The quadrangle garden on Petherwin is a perfect suntrap for pigeons to lie down and sunbathe. Watching the wildlife around us is just fantastic.

It was a first for us, when Scrubbins came to play harmonica and guitar and to sing for us.

We really enjoyed hearing music new to us but actually good old tunes from the past 100 years. Many residents sang along to tunes they remembered from long ago. After Willie Scrubbins finished the first song, one resident shouted ‘More, more’ and this carried on throughout the performance, so we ended up with a good, long and very enjoyable afternoon of excellent music.

Recently, as the weather has been warm and dry, we have been able to have some special days out.

Sometimes residents make a request because they have a wish to do something special. We have visited Respryn Woods and Lanhydrock National Trust, both National Trust places to go for walks and explore, and we have had a great time. We are so lucky to live close by so many beautiful places and be able to go out in the mini buses to see them.

🐝🍯 What a Buzz! 🐝🍯

As part of our Live Virtual Events programme, residents and patients across the country enjoyed a fascinating virtual talk yesterday, led by expert beekeeper Julia Young, on The Wonderful World of Bees.

Everyone was absolutely captivated by her stories – from the intricate waggle dance to the royal drama of bee regicide. Who knew the life of a honeybee could be so exciting?

It was a great opportunity to learn more about nature, hives and the extraordinary teamwork of bees.

To make things even more exciting, the talented chefs at our homes prepared delicious themed treats and refreshments - including honey sandwiches, honey flapjacks and tea sweetened with local honey.

Thank you, Julia! 👏

On Cream Tea Day, we enjoyed cream teas with freshly made scones. There is absolutely no doubt about how to serve a cream tea at Kernow House, as we are in Cornwall, so therefore the jam goes on first followed by clotted cream. Yummy.

The wonderful Keating came to play guitar and sing for us.

There were some emotional moments when Will sang familiar Cornish songs that were recognised. He also sang new songs we had not heard him sing before and we loved listening to him and singing along. As it was a very hot day, Kernow Kones was there so we enjoyed having delicious ice cream too. Just about a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
