Here at Hope Green we had an amazing day full of events to take part in, including a bonnet competition, an Easter Egg hunt, and buffet lunch. It was great to see staff members dressed up and enjoying lots of fun and laughter in the garden on such a sunny spring day.

Who doesn't enjoy a good foot spa and as it was National Foot Spa Day we set back and let the spa commence, we had a nice foot rub from the activity girls, what a lovely relaxing morning for us.

Hope Green has pen pals! A local prep school sent in a lovely letter to our residents along with Easter cards and paintings which they made for us. It was wonderful to see so many smiles! We will definitely be writing back to them. We have so much to tell them about ourselves.

Marianne showed residents how to decoupage terracotta pots, using paper napkins. It was a delicate operation to separate the layers of napkins, then stick to the pots with PVA glue, finished off with a varnish.

We are getting ready for St Georges Day by making placemats for the tables, decorations and bunting are next on our agenda and we're discussing what menu to have on the day, so far fish and chips have been the favourite.
