🍦☀️ Ice Cream Van Visit at Waterside Court! 🍦☀️

A huge thank you to David Wickens for joining us and bringing such a wonderful treat to our residents. The familiar jingle of the ice cream van created a real buzz of excitement—and smiles all around!

It was more than just ice cream—it was a trip down memory lane. Rosemary shared how hearing the music took her straight back to her school days, running with her friends to catch the van before it drove off. Moments like these remind us how powerful small joys can be.

Another unforgettable day on the Thames! 🌊⚓☀️

Due to the overwhelming interest and glowing feedback from our first boat trip, we had the absolute pleasure of setting sail once again with the amazing Rivertime Boat Trust. And what a day it was!

The sun was shining, the water was sparkling, and our residents, families, and friends were full of smiles and laughter as we cruised along the beautiful Henley stretch of the River Thames. This second trip gave more of our residents the chance to witness the excitement of the Henley Royal Regatta build-up, with rowers gliding past in preparation for their big races.

Of course, no Waterside Court adventure would be complete without our signature touch—a glass of bubbly enjoyed with great company and stunning views 🥂🌞🛥️.

As part of our Live Virtual Events programme, residents and patients across the country enjoyed a fascinating virtual talk yesterday, led by expert beekeeper Julia Young, on The Wonderful World of Bees.

Everyone was absolutely captivated by her stories – from the intricate waggle dance to the royal drama of bee regicide. Who knew the life of a honeybee could be so exciting?

It was a great opportunity to learn more about nature, hives and the extraordinary teamwork of bees.

To make things even more exciting, the talented chefs at our homes prepared delicious themed treats and refreshments - including honey sandwiches, honey flapjacks and tea sweetened with local honey.
