Dear Danielle and the team at Carmel Lodge, I wanted to thank you for all the wonderful care you gave to my dad during the almost 12 months he spent with you. Dad always told me he was well looked after and that I was not to worry about home.

We bought some bubble blowing machines for our residents as part of our ongoing sensory programme. We use them in residents rooms, in lounge areas, outside, as well as parties. Christopher has his own machine for his room and one of his favourite things is to catch the bubbles.

For Earth Day the Norwich market came to The Hawthorns, starting with a virtual tour followed by touching and smelling of its local and organic produce. Residents then made suggestions as to what could be cooked with the ingredients and talked about meals they used to make.

Today was St. George's Day , the day we celebrate George slaying a dragon for England! And there's no better way to celebrate than with a party! We listened to music from Vera Lynn, Tommy Steele and The Beatles. Played games like the Cockney Rhyming Slam Game and St. George themed Bingo.
