Our residents have been busy making St Brigids's Crosses for St Brigid's day on the 01st February. They are proudly displayed in our foyer and we think you will agree they look amazing!

St Brigid's Day, also known as Imbolc, is a Gaelic traditional festival celebrated on February 1st. It marks the beginning of spring and is associated with the ancient Gaelic festival of Imbolc, which initiated the beginnings of spring and new growth. The day is a time to take stock and think ahead, and it has been widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. The festival is believed to have Christianized older pagan beliefs in the goddess Brigid, a member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a race of supernatural beings who inhabited Ireland in ancient times. Saint Brigid is remembered for her remarkable displays of compassion, leadership, and generosity, and her feast day is celebrated with various customs and traditions, including the weaving of a St Brigid's Cross and the Brigeog doll.

Wednesday: Bake Day
Our residents baked scones and marble cake. The residents really enjoy our bake days. They relish the tactile feel of making bread, scones, and decorating buns.
Baking in nursing homes can be quite therapeutic. Weighing the ingredients, kneading dough, stirring cake mixes is relaxing. It is a social and sensory activity. This activity leads to reminiscing about their days of baking. Decorating cakes or buns is also good fun and it also gives a sense of pride in achievement.

Happy Onam 2025!

We are delighted to celebrate this special festival with all our residents and staff.

Onam is a vibrant 10-day harvest festival celebrated by the Malayali community in Kerala and around the world. In 2025, the festivities began on August 26 and will culminate with Thiruvonam on Friday, September 5.

This 10-day festival is marked by a variety of traditions. Pookalam refers to elaborate floral designs created at entrances to welcome King Mahabali. These arrangements grow grander with each layer, often featuring ten rings of flowers, with the center made of yellow flowers to represent King Mahabali.

The Onam Sadya (Onam feast), held on the tenth day of the festival, is traditionally served on a banana leaf and usually includes at least nine courses with a variety of vegetables.

May this festive season bring joy, peace, and prosperity to you and your family.

Our residents had a special visitor yesterday called Pippa.
Pet therapy is highly beneficial to the elderly as it enhances emotional wellbeing, reduces loneliness and promotes physical health. We hope to see Pippa very soon again.

What a way to end our Nursing Homes week!...
We were so delighted to welcome some of our lovely Indian colleagues to perform cultural songs and stories with our residents. They told the story of King Mahabili who we were delighted was able to attend and also there to present one of our residents with his birthday cake! Our Indian staff are such an integral and important part of the Nursing Home and our local towns and villages. We are honoured and privileged to have had such a beautiful experience and to enjoy a little bit of their culture. Thank you to all who participated and we are looking forward to your next performance over the festive season!
