💅 Nail Day with Louise 💅

There’s nothing like a pop of colour to brighten up a stormy November day!

Lots of our lovely residents enjoyed a pamper today as Louise worked her magic with some gorgeous nail colours and styles.

Smiles all around and hands looking fabulous! ✨

This morning, we took a little trip up the road to Holbrook Hall for their wonderful coffee morning ☕️. Everyone enjoyed delicious homemade scones with jam and clotted cream 🍓🍰 Too busy enjoying ourselves to take any pictures!

Back at home, we tested our knowledge with a wartime music quiz, which brought back some great memories (and a few singalongs too!). 🎶

To round off the day, we settled in for a concert by the one and only André Rieu, a special request from our lovely Hilary. 🎻💐

A day full of chatter, music, and good company – just how we like it here at Springwood. ❤️

Today at Springwood Residential, we honoured Armistice Day by reflecting on what this day means to our residents. Many shared their thoughts and memories, writing down personal reflections about their experiences and those of loved ones.

We then settled down together to watch Goodnight Mister Tom, which everyone absolutely loved. The film brought back many memories of childhood and life during the war years — a touching reminder of the strength and resilience of that generation. ❤️

🕯️ Festival of Remembrance at Springwood Care Home 🕯️

This afternoon, following lunch, our residents gathered in the lounge to watch the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance, held at the Royal Albert Hall last evening.

The performances throughout the concert were both moving and powerful, providing a poignant opportunity to honour and remember the courage, sacrifice, and service of all those who have defended our nation.

We join the nation in remembrance and gratitude — lest we forget. 🇬🇧

🎶 A Trip Down Memory Lane! 🎶

A few weeks ago, we celebrated Cliff Richard’s birthday, sparking wonderful conversations among our residents about their memories of growing up listening to his music.

Today, Hilary and Judith continued the nostalgia with a showing of “Summer Holiday” — and thoroughly enjoyed being transported back to 1963! 🚌☀️🎵

There were plenty of smiles, singing along, and stories shared — proof that great music never goes out of style! 💕

To top off a busy and fun-filled day, some of our residents made the short journey up the road to enjoy the fireworks at Holbrook Hall. 🎇

A huge thank you to our wonderful care staff for making the outing possible - particularly our lovely Niamh who went along with the residents - and to Holbrook Hall for giving us a warm welcome. ❤️

Everyone had a fantastic evening with hot dogs, hot chocolates, and a brilliant fireworks display lighting up the night! 🌭☕✨

✈️ Armchair Travel to Canada! 🇨🇦

This afternoon at Springwood, we packed our (imaginary) bags and set off on an armchair adventure all the way to Canada! 🍁

Many of our residents have connections to Canada — Judith’s son and June’s daughter both live in Canada, and Graham lived out there with his family for a number of years. It was heartwarming to see him recognise so many familiar places! ❤️

A lovely afternoon of memories, stories, and virtual sightseeing. 🌎✨

Where to next, Springwood travellers?

One of our favourite activities here at Springwood is reminiscing, and this morning we enjoyed sharing our wonderful memories of Bonfire Night! 🎆

Residents also had fun testing their skills with a themed word search and a tricky Bonfire Night quiz. 🧩✨

Congratulations to Frances, Rita, and June, our joint quiz champions, scoring an impressive 19/20! 🏆🎉

One of our staff and residents’ favourite days of the month — when Sue and her therapy dog, Hunter, come to visit 🐾 🐶 Lots of smiles and treats all round 💛
