🌷 A Heartfelt Farewell 🌷

Today, a beloved chapter in my life came to a close. Saying goodbye to the residents and colleagues who have filled my days with laughter, care, and meaning at Cornelius House was deeply emotional. As I turn the page toward retirement, I carry with me the memories, lessons, and friendships that will stay in my heart always.

As one door closes, another opens — so they say — and as I pass the reins from a role I have held so dearly, I am filled with gratitude for every moment shared and every connection made along the way.

What an emotional day it was — filled with laughter and tears, thoughtful cards and gifts, and so many kind words that touched my heart. Every gesture, every smile, and every hug was a reminder of the love, warmth, and family spirit that make Cornelius House such a truly special place.

I was deeply moved by the love and kindness shown to me today — it meant the world. Though I struggled to find the right words to express my thanks, please know how much I appreciate every thoughtful gesture and every kind word.

I will carry the memories of today, and all the wonderful times we’ve shared, with me always.
Thank you to every resident, every colleague, and every friend — you have made my journey here truly unforgettable.

With all my love and heartfelt thanks,
Tracey 💕

🎁 Pass the Parcel – Just for Fun! 🎶

You don’t need a birthday to enjoy a good old-fashioned game of Pass the Parcel! To round off our fun-filled afternoon, our lively group of residents were still raring to go — full of energy, laughter, and team spirit.

This nostalgic game brought back wonderful memories, with everyone eager to unwrap a layer and hang onto the parcel just that little bit longer when the music played — all part of the fun! 🎵

A big well done to our winner, Eileen, and a well-deserved treat of biscuits and tea all round to finish the afternoon in style. 🍪☕

It was an exhilarating, active, and joyfully exhausting afternoon — full of smiles, laughter, and shared moments of happiness. 💛

🎶 More Fun and Laughter! 🎶

After our paper race challenge, we kept the energy flowing with a series of motivating, noisy, and laughter-filled team games!
One of the favourites was Pass the Ball — a fast-paced game of coordination, fun, and friendly competition.

Residents worked together to keep that ball moving! As the music played, everyone joined in with enthusiasm and cheers.
When the music stopped, whoever was left holding the ball earned a point — and the resident with the fewest points at the end was crowned our winner! 👏

Well done to Barry for keeping calm under pressure and claiming the win! 🏆💫

The room was full of smiles, laughter, and that wonderful Cornelius House team spirit we all love! ❤️

🎲 Fun & Games Afternoon at Cornelius House! 🎲

There’s nothing quite like a good laugh to lift everyone’s spirits — and that’s exactly what happened during our lively Games Afternoon!

Residents and staff joined in for a round of fun-filled challenges, including our ever-popular Paper Race — a hilarious, light-hearted game that had everyone cheering, laughing, and encouraging one another all the way to the finish line!

The room was full of smiles, friendly competition, and wonderful moments of teamwork. These simple, spontaneous activities remind us that joy often comes from the shared laughter and connection we create together. 💛

🎤 Quiz Time with Ian Sewell

We were delighted to welcome Ian Sewell for his first visit to Cornelius House, bringing along his Interactive Quiz — a fantastic session that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who took part.

Ian’s quiz was lively, engaging, and wonderfully inclusive, ensuring that every resident could join in the fun. Using colourful visual cards for True or False and A, B, or C questions, he created an atmosphere filled with laughter and friendly competition.

A musical visual round added a wonderful touch of nostalgia, a special Grace Kelly segment and a music round comprising classic tunes that had everyone smiling and singing along.

Points were tallied throughout, and we were thrilled to celebrate our three champions — Joyce, Mick, and Irene! 👏👏👏

Ian’s visit was a real highlight — we look forward to welcoming him back in 2026 for more of his engaging and entertaining quiz sessions!

🎃✨ It’s Magic! A Huge Thank You to Evie from Jolly Old Entertainment! 🎤💫

What a ‘Spooky Spectacular’ afternoon we’ve had here at Cornelius House! 👻
Evie had everyone spellbound with her sparkling Halloween party show — full of fun, laughter, and toe-tapping tunes that got the whole lounge singing and swaying along! 🎶🧙‍♀️

From The Monster Mash to The Time Warp, I Put a Spell on You, This Is Halloween, and It’s Magic — the hits just kept coming! 🕺💃
Residents waved their arms, clapped along, and joined in with smiles all around — proof that a touch of music really can lift the spirits! 🎵✨

A heartfelt thank you, Evie, for bringing such energy, warmth, and sparkle to our Halloween celebrations — you truly made it spooktacular! 🎃🕸️

🚗✨ A Great Day at Beaulieu! ✨🚗

What a wonderful day it was for Eileen, Mick, Chef Paul, our lovely driver, and myself as we set off, rain or shine, for an adventure to the Beaulieu Motor Museum in the heart of the glorious New Forest.

From the moment we arrived, there was so much to see and admire — over 285 magnificent vehicles, each telling a part of Britain’s motoring story.
The nostalgic “Stop Me and Buy One” ice cream display brought back fond memories, and we all enjoyed spotting the Monorail gliding overhead and the replica 1912 open-top London bus.
Although we didn’t get to ride them this time, we made the most of our visit with a well-deserved lunch in the café, full of smiles and chatter. ☕🍴

A real highlight was seeing the famous Chitty Chitty Bang Bang — what a beautiful sight! We all agreed we’d have loved a spin in that magical flying car.
Mick was in his element, carefully inspecting the cars and admiring the incredible shine and craftsmanship on display.

There was so much to see, we could have spent the whole day exploring — perhaps we’ll plan another visit soon!
Everyone agreed it was a truly fantastic day out at Beaulieu, filled with laughter, nostalgia, and lovely company. ❤️
