In September, our residents had a busy month with lots of activities from the beginning of month.
The mini pony visit our home
This week, we welcomed back, by popular demand, Jack Brock the miniature Shetland pony!!!
Jack visited us back in March where he brought everyone so much enjoyment, that we jumped at the opportunity to have him back for a second time.
Pirated theme day
Ahoy there! We had an eventful day hunting treasures around the garden and under the scorching weather in September as we enjoyed a Pirate Themed Day.
Dressed in their pirate hats, stripey shirts and eye-patches, our experienced pirates, (our residents) navigated and guided the “younger” sailors, (our staff), to sneak behind bushes and around corners to find hidden chocolate coins.
For lunch, residents tucked into traditional pirate food, including shark baits with octo fries as they cooled down with iced-water and juice!
Finally, Jacqueline – our lovely housekeeper deserved to be the best dressed as she mixed a purple mini-flower printed headband with an ivory lace top and strapped jumpsuit. The best dressed had a lucky opportunity to take a picture with Our Captain Mick!
Vibrant singing time comes
Later in September, we had a weekly singer coming to the home who really rocked our home atmosphere. Just seeing how Dennis and Eileen reacted to the show, you can partly feel what we feel here. With all the good songs around the 1950s playing, the singers reminded residents of their teenage years and reminiscing about their dreams and adventure
