An enjoyable and celebrated occasion was held at Ashmead Care Centre on 1st March 2021 for St David’s Day. The theme was Rugby and prior to the day itself, residents were encouraged to make their own Welsh Love Spoon (pictured), an explained of which is below:-

“The custom of giving hand carved love spoons to loved ones began in Wales in the 17th century. A love spoon can be given a meaning depending on the symbols used for its design:-

Following on from making daffodils, our residents have worked hard in making this lovely spring meadow for everyone to enjoy and brighten up our days and which Eileen is very proudly showing off. 

We had a lovely time with our reminiscence puzzles, lots of smiles and laughter. We are looking forward to our next instalment. 

Spring Bulb Planting, everyone really enjoyed this activity at Troutbeck. 

We are all very busy with our Spring Bulb Planting at Troutbeck. We will be updating our progress and flowering regularly. 

Celebrating pancake day, our residents really enjoyed pancakes made by our chef. Choice of topping include cream, golden syrup and traditional lemon. 

This afternoon at Manorhey our residents enjoyed one of their favourite performers who entertained them with a variety of rock and roll classics via a virtual concert. The residents had a brilliant time dancing the afternoon away with residential friends and staff members. 

We had a lovely Valentine's Day here at The Moors, with residents drawing hearts, making cards and having a lovely lunch with the tables decorated beautifully. Our favourite activity was passing round the balloon and whoever caught it shouted out something they loved. We had everything from family, to chocolate, to Pately Bridge!

Shrove Tuesday was a huge laugh here at The Moors! We ate delicious pancakes for lunch and the brilliant chefs even made us some extras to have a bit of fun with! We had pancake 'races', competitions for the highest flip and the best catch just to name a few - even the staff got involved!

As this week was national spa week we invited our residents to come and enjoy spa treatments of their choice, some of the pamper treatments included wash and blow drys, manicures, hand and facial massages which each resident chose by preference. What made it even more special was indulged in a glass or two of prosecco and strawberries, we can certainly say today was thoroughly enjoyed and very much appreciated by all here at Manorhey.
