This afternoon was our weekly Bingo session. Activity Coordinators Sarah and Selma were there to make sure that the afternoon ran smoothly, along with Yazmin from St Marys College who helps us on a Wednesday.
Sarah and Selma gathered the residents from all 3 floors and settled them in the café bar ready for the afternoon of numerical fun!
Selma called many games of bingo whilst Yazmin helped make sure the residents didn’t miss a number. It was a joy to witness residents helping each other during the session, and working together to make sure they didn’t miss numbers.

This morning some of the residents gathered in the first-floor lounge to play sticky darts. Sarah and Yazmin then took the game around the home for people in their beds to play too. It works the same as normal darts except the board is bigger and the “darts” are little velcro balls.
The residents took it in turns to throw the “darts” at the board. Many trying to get a bullseye.
Everyone really enjoyed the game and it is one that most people can get involved with.
Charlie was our overall winner.
Darts is a game that’s often forgotten when it comes to fun pastimes. However, for seniors, it offers a low-impact activity that combines focus, hand-eye coordination, and social interaction. Typically, darts is a group game. That makes it excellent for seniors to bond and build relationships with others. Being social has proven benefits, like enhancing mental health and curbing feelings of loneliness.

Today we had a very special occasion in our home as we celebrated Beryl & Roy’s 60th wedding anniversary.
Our activities coordinator Sarah made a card and had it signed by everyone and popped out to pick some flowers up for Roy to give to his wife. Business support manager Sam decorated the café bar and dressed a table for them so they could enjoy a little dinner date together and our chef Alistair prepared them a lovely meal.
When asked what the secret to a long and happy marriage is Beryl said communication is key. You must always sort things out. Beryl said the thing she loves most about Roy is everything and he is perfect and the love of her life. Roy said he loves Beryl because she is so beautiful.
Safe to say the staff watching on did shed a few tears watching the love they have for each other.
Roy thanked everyone for their efforts and for making the day special.

This morning, activities Lead Michelle, hosted a coffee morning downstairs in the café bar.

Michelle got everyone settled around tables and made everyone teas and coffees and handed out biscuits and KitKats.

Residents from all floors came together for a catch up and it was lovely to see everyone chatting and laughing together.

Some of our friends from Christ Church Newland came and joined the coffee morning and had a good old natter with the residents too.

This evening was our monthly Film Night and this month we watched “Bedknobs and Broomsticks”

The residents gathered in the café bar which the activity team had arranged with chairs in rows to resemble a cinema.

Everyone was in their jama’s as they settled into chairs whilst Sarah and Michelle made them all drinks.

Soon the film was on and everyone was singing along to the nostalgic songs. The take away arrived and Michelle and Sarah handed out pizza and chips. The residents tucked into the pizza with enthusiasm as they watched.

The film finished to a round of applause.

FIREWORKS PARTY

This week was bonfire night and we decided to celebrate with style.
Activity Coordinator Michelle organised a family & friends’ fireworks night for everyone to enjoy.
Mark’s wife Mel and Home Chef Alistair, made loads of buns, cakes and sweet treats for everyone to enjoy as part of the evening.
Michelle organised a tombola stall that was run by Charlie's daughter in law, Maggie on the evening to help raise money for the resident’s fund.
Michelle, Business Support Manager Sam, and Mel ran the café bar making sure everyone had refreshments of wine, beer, tea, coffee and sweet treats.
Huge thank you to Ralphs son, James for donating some extra Rockets for the fireworks display.
Sam, Michelle and the staff got all the residents settled outside in chairs with blankets to keep them warm, then it was time for the main event.
Michelle’s husband Iain and son Isaac lit the fireworks. The fireworks display lasted about 20 mins.
The residents, family and friends had a wonderful evening celebrating and enjoying the fireworks.

U3A WIDE AWAKE CHOIR

This afternoon residents gathered from all floors gathered in the winter garden for a special treat!
Resident favourites, The U3A wide awake singers came to the home to entertain everyone. The residents always enjoy the U3A group and today was no different!!!

Angela was asked to join the group, and she was so happy to be surrounded by fellow singers and toughly enjoyed being centre stage!

The residents especially loved the rock and roll songs that they sang and all joined in clapping and singing away. Beryl and Roy took to the floor during “Rock Around the Clock” and gave everyone a show of their dancing skills.

During an interval the residents were offered refreshments of Tea, Coffee and posh biscuits which they were really fussy about.

The second half of the show was enjoyed just as much as the first half.
The band finished with Sweet Caroline Everyone was clapping and waving their arms around enjoying the well-known classic!

HULL FAIR

This afternoon was our annual trip to Hull Fair. This year Activities coordinators Michelle and Gavin along with HCA Poppy assisted the residents to and around the fair.

Ralph was very excited for one thing and one thing only BOB CARVERS!
On the way to the fair we bumped into Cath’s daughter Diane. Cath was so happy to see her and said “That was a nice surprise”
Once we were at the fair Cath was GOBSMACKED at the size of it. “I’ve never seen anything like it” she said “It’s so much bigger than the last time I was here, mind you that was a lifetime ago”
Ralph got his Pattie, peas and chips and thoroughly enjoyed every single mouthful! “That is the highlight of my year” he said.
We had a walk around the fair, looked at all of the rides, stalls and food vendors. The residents were in shocked at how many rides there were and how much they all cost “You’d need a bank book to come here with a family,” said Cath.
Janette was laughing at some of the people on the rides, especially those on the big rides that were screaming. Michelle joked “Shall we go on that big ride Janette?” Janette said “No way!!! You would never get me on one of those”
Pat was taken aback when Ralph told her that Hull Fair is the world’s largest traveling fair! “Well I never, aren’t we lucky to be able to visit it” she said.

As the weather began to cool down Michelle, Gavin and Poppy got everyone warm drinks to enjoy. They watched the children on the merry-go-rounds as they finished their drinks.

All too soon it was time to head back home for tea.
