We had a sweet time celebrating National Candy Day! ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿก From retro sweets and old-fashioned adverts to our Chit Chat Club with a sugar-themed twist - the day was full of smiles and nostalgia. Our very own โ€œusheretteโ€ offered a tempting sweet selection, while Zoe treated Victor to some popping candy fun! Keithโ€™s reaction after trying it was priceless! ๐Ÿ˜„

Residents in their rooms also joined in, enjoying a selection of their favourite sweets while sharing memories of childhood treats. ๐Ÿฌ Everyone had a fantastic time sampling candy floss, pick โ€˜nโ€™ mix, and popping candy... a truly delightful day for all!

Today, we celebrated National Sandwich Day in the most delicious way... by making our own tea-time sandwiches! ๐Ÿ˜‹ We chatted about the Earl of Sandwich, who famously invented the sandwich so he could keep playing cards without stopping for a meal - quite the clever idea! โ™ ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

Our residents had a great time choosing their favourite fillings:
๐Ÿฅช Sheila went for classic ham and mayonnaise
๐Ÿ“ Victor enjoyed a sweet jam sandwich
๐Ÿ’› Malcolm kindly made Clare a ham sandwich
๐Ÿ™Œ And Pat made sure to cut off her crusts!

It was a fun, relaxing afternoon filled with smiles, stories and plenty of tasty sandwiches! ๐Ÿงก
