🍅 A bumper harvest at Talbot View!

Our green-fingered gardening club members have been busy harvesting more than 100 ripe cherry tomatoes from the garden, as well as giving our winter flowers a good watering. 🌱🌼

After sorting and washing the tomatoes, residents wrapped the nearly-ripe ones in paper to continue ripening indoors before sitting down together for a well-earned cup of tea. ☕

Chef Lee then joined us with cheese, crackers and a little salt for a special tasting session. The home-grown tomatoes were incredibly sweet and juicy, with residents describing how they ‘popped’ in their mouths.

From garden to table, it was a lovely afternoon of Food, Fun and Friendship. 💙

🌿🎶 A beautiful afternoon of music at Marjorie House! 💙

We were delighted to welcome Jewel Harmonies to Marjorie House recently for a wonderful afternoon of live singing in the garden. ☀️🌷

Residents enjoyed a fantastic selection of songs from the 1950s onwards, bringing back plenty of happy memories. There was lots of singing along, toe-tapping and, most importantly, smiles all around! 💃🕺

A huge thank you to Jewel Harmonies for filling our garden with music, laughter and nostalgia. It was a very special afternoon enjoyed by everyone. 🎤💙

Viva La Fiesta at Alexandra House! 🎉

Residents, families, friends and team members had a fantastic time at our Mexican Fiesta Summer Fayre, with an afternoon full of colour, music and laughter.

Our fabulous entertainer Steve arrived dressed for the occasion, while the Alexandra House team embraced the theme with some brilliant outfits and some rather impressive fake moustaches! 😂

There were plenty of stalls to explore, a tempting cake sale and delicious Mexican-inspired food lovingly prepared by Chef Nathan and his team. 🌮🍰

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special. Another wonderful afternoon of Food, Fun and Friendship at Alexandra House. 💙

🎨 Residents at Kenwith Castle have been showcasing their creative talents as part of a wonderful community art project!

Working with Sandra from Creative Mojo, residents came together to create a beautiful painting inspired by Kenwith Castle and its picturesque grounds, including our much-loved lake. 💚

Everyone was encouraged to contribute their own ideas and creativity, whether they were experienced artists or picking up a paintbrush for the first time.

The finished artwork is now part of a wider exhibition at South Molton Assembly Rooms, celebrating artwork created by care home residents from across North Devon and highlighting the many benefits that creative activities can bring, including for people living with dementia.

Home Manager Jo Passmore said it was wonderful to see residents working together to create something inspired by their home, with everyone making an equal contribution to the finished piece.

And there’s more to look forward to at Kenwith Castle! ☀️ Our Summer Fayre takes place this **Saturday 22 August, from 2pm to 4pm**, with donkey rides, a barbecue, ice cream van and garden games. It’s free to attend and everyone from the local community is welcome!

☀️ What a wonderful afternoon at Fern Brook Lodge!

The sun was shining for our Summer Fayre as residents, families, friends and members of the Gillingham community came together for an afternoon full of Food, Fun and Friendship. 💚

🌊 A seaside adventure for Dorset House! 🍦

Residents enjoyed a wonderful day out in Swanage, starting with a picnic on the seafront, plenty of conversation and some time simply watching the world go by.

There were lots of laughs when some cheeky seagulls helped themselves to a sandwich from a nearby rucksack! 😂 Laura even braved a paddle in the sea, although our residents were quite happy keeping their feet on dry land!

No trip to the seaside would be complete without an ice cream, followed by some good old-fashioned fun on the 2p machines in the arcade. 🪙🍦

A lovely day of sunshine, laughter and Food, Fun and Friendship. 💙

⛵ A special wish comes true on Poole Harbour 💙

Chrissie, a resident at Alexandra House in Parkstone, returned to the water to relive happy memories of sailing during her time in the RAF.

Thanks to Poole Yacht Club, Chrissie joined an all-women crew aboard Peggy Pepper for one of their Summer Series races around Poole Harbour. And she proved to be a lucky passenger, with the crew finishing third! 🥉

“I felt at home on the boat. I was a bit scared, but I managed to keep my cool. It was thrilling!”

The experience was organised as part of Care South’s Make a Wish initiative, helping residents reconnect with the hobbies, people and places that mean the most to them.

A huge thank you to Poole Yacht Club and the Peggy Pepper crew for helping make Chrissie’s sailing wish come true. ⛵💙
