✨ Last Week at Longlands ✨

Last week was full of meaningful moments and smiles at Longlands. We marked National Holocaust Remembrance Day by singing wartime songs and sharing treasured memories our residents have of conversations with loved ones growing up ❤️🎶

We also enjoyed a lovely walk into the community, stopping for coffee and cake ☕🍰

To finish the week, we celebrated National Puzzle Day with a special visit from the children of St John Fisher Nursery. They brought puzzles to enjoy with our residents, and we set up arts and crafts for everyone to get involved in 🧩🎨 It was wonderful to see the joy of intergenerational time together.

A truly special week all round 💙

Last Week at Longlands 🍿🥧🌿

We had a lovely week at Longlands, packed with fun activities and tasty treats! Some of the highlights included celebrating National Popcorn Day, a trip to the garden centre, and of course, National Pie Day.

For National Popcorn Day, please see our previous post for more details 🍿

We also enjoyed a trip to Notcutts Garden Centre, where we were greeted by the resident peacocks—bright, colourful, and very welcoming. We took a relaxing stroll around the centre and made sure not to miss a visit to the animals at the end. The clear favourites among our residents were the guinea pigs 🐹💚

To finish the week on a delicious note, we celebrated National Pie Day with some wonderful homemade sweet pies by our chef, Karen—apple pie and lemon meringue pie 🥧😋
We also played “Would You Rather? Pie Edition”, going around the home to gather everyone’s opinions:
Sweet or savoury?
Chicken or beef?
Apple or cherry?
It seems the majority of our residents prefer sweet pies, with apple pie coming out on top over cherry 🍎
What would you pick? 👀🥧

🎬🍿 National Popcorn Day Celebrations 🍿🎬

Today we had a wonderful time celebrating National Popcorn Day, packed full of fun, friendship, and plenty of treats!

We kicked off the day with a movie-themed quiz, which got everyone thinking, laughing, and reminiscing about favourite films and famous scenes. It was a great way to start the day and set the mood for our movie celebrations.

Later in the morning, we enjoyed a lovely outing to Littlemore Hubs Friendship Café. Over a couple of cups of tea, plenty of biscuits, and lots of friendly chatter, residents had the chance to relax, socialise, and enjoy each other’s company in a welcoming setting. The conversation flowed just as freely as the tea!

This afternoon, the celebrations continued with a movie afternoon to mark National Popcorn Day in style. Fresh treats and refreshments were on hand, and we made sure that all of our residents, whether they chose to watch the film or not, were topped up with drinks and snacks so everyone could feel included in the festivities.

Adding an extra special touch, some of our residents used the popcorn pots they decorated themselves last week and were very proud to show them off while enjoying their treats.

A day full of smiles, shared moments, and simple pleasures – just the way we like it 💛🍿

🍛 National Curried Chicken Day at Longlands 🍛

Today was a very busy and upbeat day at Longlands! We started the morning with a lovely visit from Minister James Weaver from Grace Church Cowley, who shared Bible readings, led hymn singing, and offered prayers with our residents.

Shortly after, we were joined by the wonderful Allen Hook on saxophone — a familiar and much-loved visitor. His music even had some residents up and dancing! 🎷💃

To celebrate National Curried Chicken Day, our chef Karen kindly prepared a delicious curry for everyone to enjoy 🍛

We ended the day on a calmer note with a fun Curry Quiz, where everyone joined in, sharing knowledge about different cultures and their foods.

A truly lovely day full of music, laughter, and great food 💛

🎶✨ What a wonderful day we’ve had! ✨🎶

Our morning started with a pamper session from the hairdressers 💇‍♀️, followed by a fun game of bingo 🎱.

This afternoon we were joined by the lovely Zoe from Mini Concerts, who treated us to a fantastic selection of songs – from movie classics to 50s & 60s favourites 🎤. Our residents enjoyed it so much they couldn’t help but sing along! 💕

A day full of smiles, music, and great company 😊

🎨 This morning at Longlands, our residents enjoyed a creative arts and crafts session. Using just six colours, they painted the first thing that came to mind. While it was a little challenging at first, everyone embraced the freedom and imagination — and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Even the carers got involved! 😊

🥫 This afternoon brought out everyone’s competitive side with a fun game of tin can alley! Lots of laughter, encouragement, and friendly competition made it a fantastic end to the day.

✨ Happy New Year from Longlands! ✨

We’ve kicked off the year by being dedicated to caring, spending time one-to-one with residents, chatting about New Year’s resolutions and sharing snowy memories from years gone by ❄️

Our residents showed just how knowledgeable they are during a general knowledge quiz—definitely empowering individuals and respecting each other, as they even beat some of the staff! 🧠👏

Teamwork was on display as residents helped with the post-Christmas tidy-up, taking pride in our home and securing our future together 🎄✨

We’re excited to continue promoting communities with more lunches at the Littlemore Hub and visits from St John Fisher Primary School already booked in.

Here’s to a wonderful year ahead at Longlands 💙

24/12/2025

🎄✨ A huge Merry Christmas from all of us at Longlands to you and your loved ones! ✨🎄

From our family to yours, all our staff and residents wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Let’s hope the year ahead brings happiness, health, and everything you wish for. 💫
