🌼 July Roundup at Esmere Gardens ☀️
July at Esmere Gardens has been a joyful celebration of friendship, fresh air, and fabulous fun. We kicked things off with the return of Jenna and Julie, our favourite cuddly guinea pigs, who brought smiles all round during their visit. Musical magic followed as Barry, a cherished entertainer and friend of the home, returned with a fresh playlist of classics—along with his signature knack for remembering every resident's name! Meanwhile, birthday cheers were in full swing as we marked John’s 94th with cake, laughter, and, at long last, his beloved spaghetti western on DVD. 🎂🐹🎶
Our green-fingered Gardening Club continued to thrive this month, with the long-awaited potato harvest turning into a delicious group cooking session! With kitchen support from Lesley and team coordination from residents like Rita, Eddie, and Jean, we produced a perfectly seasoned batch of potato salad—tasted, tweaked, and approved by all! In the garden, Luke planted sweet peas around a new bamboo tipi frame, and we’re watching eagerly as they begin to climb. And of course, our visit to the glorious Confetti Fields provided not only floral inspiration for craft projects but a truly VIP day out in nature’s rainbow.
July also brought a burst of playful activity with an inclusive twist on our Cover the Number dice game, now adapted with tactile numbers for all to enjoy. Our Tabletop Bowling tournament heated up again as the competition grows tighter each month. To top it off, the terrace transformed into a slice of Paris as two members of the jazz band D’Accord delivered an intimate, accordion-and-guitar performance in the sunshine. 🎷🥔🪴
Don’t forget—our Photo Gallery is now live! Dive into the heart of our home and browse through the snapshots that capture the warmth, connection, and joy we share every day. 📸💛
