A Taste of China at Lillyburn 🥢
Chef Matthew and his dedicated team recently prepared a delightful Chinese food tasting experience for our residents, following feedback that they would enjoy themed takeaway-style evenings. The event was very well received, with a variety of dishes enjoyed across the home. While a few found the spicier options a little strong, the evening was a great success and sparked plenty of conversation.
We are now looking forward to our next themed evening: Italian Night 🇮🇹. More details to follow soon.
Inter-generational Connections with Riverside Childcare 🎶
Each week, for a block of six sessions per term, our residents take part in joyful Inter-generational Sessions with the children from Riverside Childcare. These sessions begin with the Hello Song, followed by a selection of well-loved nursery rhymes that everyone enjoys.
This week’s session was particularly memorable, as the nursery organised a Pet Day. One of the highlights was Luna the snake, who intrigued both children and residents alike. Sheila had a wonderful time role-playing as a vet, helping the children care for cuddly toys by administering pretend injections and applying bandages.
These shared moments bring warmth, laughter and a sense of community to all involved 💛
Afternoon Tea and Dance at Hayston Golf Club 🏌️♂️
Lillyburn residents recently enjoyed a lovely outing to Hayston Golf Club for an afternoon tea and dance in support of the charity event Kirkie and Lenzie Build South Africa 2026. The afternoon featured a delicious spread of sandwiches, mini-pies, cakes, tea and coffee, along with some light-hearted games.
Entertainment was provided by singers performing a lively Country and Western set, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Although we left empty-handed from the raffle, spirits remained high and it was a wonderful afternoon nonetheless 😊
