"Life is partly what we make it, and partly what is made by the friends we choose." (Author Tennessee Williams.)

Today, our happy band of friends ventured out in the minibus to our favourite local café Brownes Garden Centre in for ice cream and cake.

While Rose and Pat tucked into their delicious ice cream, Malcolm and Bill discovered they both once called Orpington in Kent their home, and they bonded over shared memories of local haunts.

New friendships 🤝 good company 😊 and tasty treats 🍦

🎾🍓 Wimbledon Fun Across Our Homes 🎾🥂

Residents and patients across the country had a delightful time following the annual Wimbledon tennis tournaments.

Many homes and hospitals were decorated with themed flags and banners, as residents and patients engaged in a range of enjoyable activities, including mini tennis championships, quizzes and interactive sessions.

The big tennis enthusiasts were thrilled to watch the famous matches virtually from the comfort of their armchairs and to join the afternoon tea parties with strawberries and cream, Pimm’s and champagne.

Everyone had a fantastic time!

Take a look at some of our favourite moments in the photos below.

🥣 Crandon Springs Cereal Bars🥣

Who knew oats and teamwork could be such a recipe for fun?

Joy and Malcolm stirred up a storm, proving that teamwork makes the dream work (and tasty cereal bars)👏. Meanwhile, Neville took on the crucial role of Chief Ingredient Tester, sampling most of the mix before it even hit the bowl (quality control at its finest!)😆 And Sue was laser-focused on crafting the perfect cereal bars (presentation is so important)🥇.

The result? Delicious, homemade cereal bars that not only taste better than shop-bought but are also packed with goodness💪❤️.

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.

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.

Thank you, Julia! 👏
