St George's Day Preparations and Joyce's 80th Birthday

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. 

We're also celebrating an 80th birthday today by having a happy hour and a quiz tonight. As usually Michelle, our chef, has made a lovely cake and Joyce was thoroughly spoilt today, as she should by her family, friends and staff making her day as special as her.   

Chicks

All residents and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience of the chicks who have now headed back to their farm in Yorkshire. The chicks definitely enjoyed their time here with us too! Happy Easter to everyone from all at Bowerfield Court. 

Easter Fun

We had an amazing Easter filled with fun games, chocolates, Simnel cake and hot cross buns. 

Easter Donations

What a lovely surprise, we had a visit from the Easter bunny and a very kind donation of chocolate eggs for all our residents from a local pub of the Urmston area. We were delighted and extremely appreciative of their kind gesture.   

Hot Cross Buns

Kicking off Easter weekend we here at Manorhey have enjoyed our homemade Hot Cross buns toasted with butter. 

Easter Donations

Much Easter love and thanks to Walthamstow Stadium Area Residents/Community Association for all these wonderful Easter eggs, a gift for each resident. Such a kind and heartfelt gesture. Also thank you for the beautiful Easter cards provided by South Chingford Foundation School, they really made our day. 

Good Friday Activities

On Good Friday our residents enjoyed hot cross buns while taking part in an Easter quiz. One resident said "this takes me back to when I was young" and we discussed different Easter memories. For those who preferred more art and craft, these residents coloured in Easter themed pictures and we 'planted' them around the home. 

Easter Display

Woodland residents have created the most wonderful artwork for their Easter display, including chicks made from their hand prints and gorgeous bright daffodils that were suspended from the ceiling. After their hard work everyone enjoyed a special afternoon tea.  

Creativeness at Acorn

We've been getting creative and produced some lovely art work to hang on the wall. We have also added to our spring meadow with a flock of sheep and some colourful butterflies. One of our residents commented that looking at the meadow brings a smile to her face every day and she loves the new additions.
