This morning, residents and staff at Montrose came together to honour and remember all those who gave their lives in service of their country.

At the stroke of 11, we fell silent in reflection, paying our respects to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

We spent time together in remembrance, before reading "In Flanders Fields", a moving poem that captures the spirit of the day.

Lest we forget.

"In Flanders Fields" was written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, a Canadian army doctor and poet, during the First World War in May 1915.

He wrote it after presiding over the funeral of a close friend who had been killed in the Second Battle of Ypres. The poem was first published later that year and quickly became one of the most famous war memorial poems, inspiring the use of the red poppy as a symbol of remembrance.

On a gloomy Monday morning Danny Jukebox chased away the blues and put smiles on all our faces… watch this video (make sure you’ve got the sound on) and you’ll see how! We reckon Danny would be great on Strictly - do you agree?

With the sun keeping itself firmly hidden this morning, we decided to create some colour ourselves, with a flower arranging session. And while we were busy creating beautiful floral displays, we spent time reminiscing about days gone by.

We’ve been celebrating a very special milestone – Heather’s 90th birthday!

The day began with our regular fortnightly visit from Bella, our much-loved pets as therapy (PAT) dog, which made Heather’s morning even brighter. For lunch, Heather chose her favourite dish, a hearty beef stew with dumplings, and was joined by her family to share the occasion. And of course, no Montrose birthday would be complete without cake! 🎂

A truly joyful day for Heather, and we loved celebrating with her ♡.

A coffee morning, but make it Turkish! A massive thank-you to Alli for coming in and sharing her recent trip to Turkey with us. Alli brought us a selection of authentic Turkish Delight from her travels, plus some Turkish coffee and fruit teas for us to sample. She also brought some souvenirs from Turkey with her, which of course we had to try on! It was such a lovely morning talking about our own holidays whilst sampling the sweets. Thank you Alli for hosting a lovely Turkish coffee morning for us! 🇹🇷 ☕️ 🍬

On Thursday we said goodbye to Dorothy, who left the Montrose family to move closer to her daughters Jane and Karen. We’re going to miss Dorothy so much, and wish her all the best in her new home.

A big thank-you to our Classic Car Show raffle and tombola prize donors! Dorchester Halfords donated the very apt luxury autoglym car kit, which was our 1st prize, and was won by Alan Smith. Strangely enough, Alan, from Avenue Interiors, had donated our 2nd prize, a £20 voucher! The voucher was won by Hannah Barnes. Finally, our 3rd prize, a box of chocolates, donated by Dorchester Tesco, was won by Di Bushnell.

Our friends from the Dorset Trefoil Guild (who help with our monthly Knit and Natter group) donated lovely hand knitted toys for the very popular tombola.

Thank you so much to our donors, and congratulations to our winners! Take a look at our previous post today for lots of pics from this morning. 🚗 🚙
