🌟 THANK YOU! 🌟

I just want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored me for my parachute jump! ✈️🪂

It was honestly the best (but scariest!) experience of my life, and I'm definitely feeling the ache today! 😅 But it was all worth it because, thanks to your incredible support, we’ve raised around £1,400! 🙌

A huge shoutout to the amazing staff, residents, families, and friends who sponsored me or came along to show their support especially my family who were on tender hooks – I’m so grateful for every single one of you. 💙

And a big thank you to Tilstock Freefall Club for making the whole experience safe, professional, and unforgettable. You were brilliant! 👏

Would I do it again? Yes, I would! 😄

I’ve got a few photos to share now, and I’ll upload the video as soon as it comes through – keep an eye out!

From the bottom of my heart – THANK YOU! 💖

🌟 A Look Back at a Wonderful Week at Briarfields Residential Home! 🌟
As we enjoy a peaceful Sunday, we're reflecting on a fun-filled and heartwarming week here at Briarfields — and what a week it was!

🎤 On Monday, we had a special visit from our favourite guest singer Mike McNeil, who never fails to get everyone smiling and singing along. This time he had some help — George stepped up as his apprentice and gave a performance to remember! 😂🎶

🎲 Tuesday started with a fantastic games morning — full of laughs and friendly competition. In the afternoon, the whole home smelled of fresh lavender as our residents made beautiful lavender bags using flowers grown right in our garden. It was a lovely, calming activity 💜🌿

🍅🥔 Wednesday was all about getting our hands dirty in the best way — our Gardening Club had a wonderful time picking our homegrown tomatoes and potatoes. The pride in those harvests was clear on everyone’s faces!

🛍️ On Thursday, we got playful again with a lively round of “The Price is Right”, followed by shopping picture bingo — two firm favourites that always bring the energy and excitement!

📖 And finally, on Friday, we slowed things down a little with Poetry Corner. Several of our residents read aloud their favourite poems — such a beautiful and moving way to end the week.

It’s been a week full of joy, creativity, music, and connection. We’re so proud of our Briarfields family and all the memories we continue to make together ❤️

Yesterday we went out on a minibus trip to Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings Museum. We had a great time looking around, George was particularly interested as he used to work there many years ago , it brought back some happy memories. We even had time to visit the cafe for a cuppa and cake . Many thanks to Fred our driver who gave us a fascinating tour around Shrewsbury on our way home 🏡

🍄 A peaceful morning at Briarfields residental care home ] 🍄🎶

This morning, some of our wonderful residents enjoyed a relaxing activity colouring in beautiful fungi illustrations for our upcoming environmental display — such talent and creativity on show! 🌿🖍️

Others chose to simply sit back, sip a glass of sherry, and enjoy the gentle sounds of classical music drifting through the room. 🎻🍷

It’s the little moments of calm and connection that make mornings like this so special 😊

Who knew National Cow Appreciation Day could be so udderly hilarious? 🐄😂

We had a blast doing a cow-themed quiz (turns out we know just enough about cows to be dangerous) and threw in a bit of history trivia too — all while sipping on some seriously good milkshakes. 🍦🥤

No photos this time — we were too busy laughing and learning! 📚🤣

🌞 What a lovely Thursday we had at Briarfields, we were delighted to welcome the wonderful children from Little Explorers Nursery for a visit to our beautiful garden. The sunshine was shining, and the smiles were even brighter! 🌻

The children and residents spent a joyful morning playing games together – hook-a-duck was a big hit! 🎣 We sang songs, shared laughter, and cooled down with some refreshing chilled drinks. It was a heartwarming time full of fun and friendship. 🎶🧒👵

In the afternoon, our Briarfields Ice Cream Trolley made its rounds, and everyone had the chance to enjoy a sweet treat with all their favourite toppings. 🍦🍓🍫

A perfect day filled with sunshine, laughter, and lovely company.
