A Lovely Morning of Bird Feeder Making 🐦
Today we enjoyed a wonderful, hands-on activity, making homemade bird feeders using lard and bird seed. It was such a calm and enjoyable time, sitting together, chatting, and sharing stories about the birds we often see around us.
We spoke about garden visitors, countryside memories, and after much discussion it was unanimously agreed that the Robin is our favourite bird.
Activities like this are about so much more than crafting — they encourage conversation, connection, reminiscence, and a real sense of togetherness. Now we can’t wait to watch our feathered friends enjoy the feeders we’ve made.
A simple activity, but a very special one. 😊

🌸 Supporting Well-Being & Independence 🌸
Today Thelma enjoyed a calm and meaningful moment planting her Hyacinth. This was a truly person-centred activity, supporting both her well-being and independence. With only minimal guidance, Thelma completed most of the planting herself, taking pride in each step of the process.
Gardening activities like this help promote confidence, purpose, and a sense of achievement, while also offering relaxation and gentle stimulation. It was lovely to see Thelma so focused and content, enjoying the independence to do something for herself 🌱
We now look forward to watching her Hyacinth grow — a beautiful reminder of how small moments can have a big impact on well-being 💐

Today, we shared a single yellow rose with each of our residents and staff.
It was about spreading a little sunshine, and it was felt all around. A simple symbol of friendship, warmth, and appreciation.

The smiles, kind words, and quiet moments of joy reminded us that sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most. A flower, a smile, a moment of connection.

To our residents: thank you for the light and life you bring into our home each day.
To our staff: thank you for your compassion, dedication, and care, you truly make a difference.

😊😊😊🌼🌼🌼

Thank you to these amazing young people for brightening our day — you made this season feel extra magical 🎄✨

Our Final Poppy Display – A Tribute of Remembrance

This week our lovely residents have been thoughtfully creating poppies for our final Remembrance display. Each poppy represents gratitude, reflection, and respect for those who gave so much. 🌹

The finished display is a beautiful symbol of unity and remembrance, and we are deeply proud of the care and creativity shown by everyone involved.
