UNO at Birkin Lodge can get intense. 😄
One team laid all their cards on the table like an open book, the other team guarded theirs like state secrets.
The real twist? Somehow every single person in both groups managed to win a round! 🤔

Bee Inspired at Birkin Lodge 🐝

We were delighted to welcome John, a local beekeeper and swarm collector, who shared intriguing facts about the world of bees.🍯
Residents were amazed to learn about the role of the Queen bee, and there were plenty of laughs when we discovered just how lazy the drones can be.😄
The highlight of the afternoon was that our very own scientist, Mary, was presented with a special award for her services to the community. A well deserved honour. 👏

Fascinating Fern Facts 🌿

As part of British Science Week, we welcomed Julian from the Fern Society who brought with him fern varieties from all around the world. 🗺️
He introduced us to Adiantum venustum from the Himalayas, the Japanese Pyrrosia lingua, and even an “Interrupted” fern from North America. 😮

With all the scientific names and botanical terms being shared, it felt like we were celebrating Latin Week too!📚

🥧The Great Birkin Bake Off ! 🍓🍌

For British Pie Week our residents decided to take a short cut rather than a short crust . 😄 We made delicious, fruity no-bake pies.
There was serious teamwork which involved mixing, whipping, grating, chopping and filling. Leading the way were Team Alison and Team Carol, both bringing lots of enthusiasm and quality control 😋 When our tasters asked for more, we realised the PROOF IS IN THE PIE !🥧

Residents started their week the ‘serious’ …..way with a crossword showdown 😄

Crosswords are brilliant at keeping minds sharp, sparking conversation and proving that someone always knows the answer! 👏
Safe to say, the week is off to a brain-boosting start .💙

Spring has officially started at Birkin Lodge 😄 thanks to HAHA ( Hawkenbury Allotment Holders’ Association)and a flurry of seed sowing. 🌱
There was plenty of optimism and very careful choosing🧐

Joyce picked basil, confident it will thrive in our warm,cosy home. Mary is bravely giving curly parsley one more chance, Theresa is backing a sure thing with broad beans 🫘 and Barbara is hopeful that her Naughty Mariettas, bright marigolds, will add a splash of colour to our garden 🌼
Now we just need the sun to clock in for its shift. 🌞

Photographic exhibition - Life through a Royal Lens 📸👑

Residents were intrigued to learn how photography has helped the Royal Family remain relevant and relatable. ✨
A particularly loved photo was the playful, heartwarming picture of Princess Diana with her young sons. We were fascinated by the image of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor with their pug, carefully presented to portray a happy marriage.
An intimate portrait of Princess Margaret taken by her husband, Lord Snowdon, illustrated the growing association between monarchy and celebrity.
The bus journey home was full of lively chatter, reflections and shared memories. Several residents asked if we can return to see the exhibition again…..and we just might! 🤔
