🌟 Recently at Limewood… Welcoming New Friendly Faces! 🌟

This week has been full of excitement as we welcomed two wonderful new regular visitors to Limewood.

First, we were delighted to have Jack from Fitniss back with us! Jack will now be joining us fortnightly for fun, gentle exercise sessions that keep everyone moving, smiling and feeling great.

We also welcomed Dan from Cordelle Barbers and what a treat it was for our gents. They enjoyed a relaxing hot cloth shave, a fresh haircut and plenty of good-natured banter.

And with lots of birthdays this month (and more still to come!), it’s been a wonderful time of celebration here at Limewood. 🎉

🎃👻 A Spooktacular Week at Limewood! 👻🎃

It’s been a frightfully fun week here at Limewood as we celebrated Halloween in style!

We started the week with a Halloween cinema special, watching E.T. and Hocus Pocus with plenty of snacks and refreshments. Residents then got creative, carving and hand-painting pumpkins (and making a little bit of a mess along the way!) before enjoying a fun-filled karaoke session with all our favourite songs. 🎶🧡

Our arts and crafts sessions saw some spooky masterpieces come to life, from doily ghosts to beautiful Halloween pictures, all enjoyed with mugs of hot chocolate topped with cream and sprinkles. 🍫☕

To round off the week, we played Halloween bingo with some ghoulishly good prizes!

We’d like to say a big thank you to:

🧺 The team at The Co-op on Stone Road for their two fantastic Halloween hampers - one shared with residents and one raffled, raising an amazing £51.50 for our residents’ fund!
🍬 The staff at Spar Westway for their wonderful “trick or treat” package filled with pumpkins, sweets, biscuits and chocolates.

What a wonderful witching week we’ve had at Limewood! 🕷️✨

🎬🎤 A Fun-Filled Week at Limewood! 🎤🎬

It’s been a wonderfully busy week here at Limewood, packed with activities that everyone has loved taking part in!

We kicked things off with Movie Monday, enjoying Night at the Museum and Gone With the Wind on the big screen 🍿. We also had a brilliant karaoke afternoon, singing along to favourite songs and enjoying lots of laughter! 🎶💛

Our Fitness session got us all moving, stretching hands, legs, arms and feet, followed by our popular weekly pub quiz in the afternoon with a well-deserved glass of wine or beer. 🍷🍺

We welcomed our lovely visitors from the church for a heart-warming service, which is always a pleasure. 🙏✨

Then, we had the most joyful celebration for a very special lady’s birthday, complete with a beautiful cake, cupcakes, marshmallows, sweet treats and plenty of gin, pink lemonade, wine and beer! 🎉💐 Robert joined us with his accordion and filled the room with music and singing, making the afternoon even more magical. 🎵

We rounded off the week with prize bingo, which brought out lots of excitement and big smiles! 😄

Here’s to more fun, friendship, and fabulous moments next week at Limewood! 💙🌟

Oktoberfest Fun at Limewood!

What an incredible day we had at Limewood! We began with an armchair travel to Germany, exploring its stunning sights and regions, learning a few German phrases and reminiscing about holidays and memories spent there. 🌍✨

In the afternoon, we kept the theme going with our annual Oktoberfest celebration and what a celebration it was! 🍺 The beer jugs were flowing, we raised our glasses with a cheerful “Prost!” and enjoyed a delicious spread of frankfurters, sauerkraut, pretzels and sweet treats.

A big thank you to the wonderful Robert Burton, who joined us once again with his accordion and filled the home with music, laughter and dancing. 🎶💛

Oktoberfest is always one of our favourite events of the year, it lifts everyone’s spirits and leaves us with smiles that last for days! 🌻

💙✨ What an Amazing Day at Limewood! ✨💙

On Thursday 25th September, we came together for a truly special fundraising day and what a success it was! 🎉

The day was packed with fun: a tombola, raffle, craft stall, handmade bead pens lovingly created by the residents, a sweet stall and a coffee & cake sale. The residents were so proud to contribute their creations, knowing they were helping such a wonderful cause. 💕

A huge thank you goes to:

🙌 Sam Baddeley for your incredible £100 donation and for cutting Claire’s ponytail.
🙌 Deb Rutter for doing the big shave.
🙌 Our amazing volunteers - Sandra, Megan and Zara - for your time and support.
🙌 And of course, to all friends, families and staff who joined us on the day to cheer Claire on.

👏 Most of all, a massive well done to Claire - we are so proud of your bravery and determination! Claire has also donated her hair to The Little Princess Trust. 💇‍♀️💝

Together, we’ve raised an incredible £3,389 in donations plus £480 in Gift Aid = £3,869! 🎉 The JustGiving page will remain open as we continue working towards our goal:

☀️🎉 Summer Fete Fun at Limewood! 🎉☀️

Last week was a busy one as we prepared for our Summer Fete, which took place on Saturday 6th September. What a fantastic day it turned out to be! 🌸

There was something for everyone to enjoy, from our craft and sweet stalls to delicious homemade treats like shortbread, lemon cake, cupcakes and hot dogs. 🍰🌭 Drinks flowed from our tropical tiki bar, with apple punch, orange punch, shandy, gin and lemonade all going down a treat. 🍹

Games brought plenty of laughter with hook-a-duck, beach ball knockout, lucky dip and ball in the bucket – plus face painting and even a visit from Minnie Mouse! 🐭✨

A highlight of the day was the wonderful Farm on Wheels, where residents and visitors got to meet Racket the donkey, Honey and Sprinkles the nanny goats, bunnies, guinea pigs and even a cheeky rat – all of which were loved by everyone. 🐐🐇🐾

It was such a joyful day of fun, community, and togetherness. 💛

💫✂️ The Countdown is On! ✂️💫

It’s nearly time for our amazing manager, Claire Wilson, to bravely shave her head in support of Make-A-Wish UK on 25th September. 🌟

Claire has been truly inspired by the stories of critically ill children and is determined to raise as much as possible to help grant life-changing wishes. Every donation brings us one step closer to making magical memories for children and their families. 💛

🎉✨ Celebrations at Limewood! ✨🎉

This week we enjoyed a very special milestone as Limewood turned 11 years old! 🥳 Residents and staff gathered to share a beautiful birthday cake, with our resident Peter honoured to cut the very first slice. Cupcakes were also gifted to our wonderful staff as a thank you for all that they do 💛.

Alongside the celebrations, we’ve been busy with lots of lovely activities. Our cinema afternoon featured the classic Mrs Doubtfire, while pampering was on the agenda with relaxing nail sessions and visits to our hair salon. 💅✂️

We also enjoyed a heartwarming church service in our cinema space, filling the room with uplifting hymns and ending with a moving rendition of Amazing Grace.

To top it all off, our sweet table full of juicy sweet bags and homemade shortbread has gone down a treat – thank you to everyone for your kind comments! 🍪🍬

We’re finishing the week with a hearty staff breakfast and, of course, our much-loved prize bingo. A wonderful week of celebration, care and togetherness at Limewood! 💐

✨ This week at Limewood ✨

It’s been another busy and joyful week! 🎉

Residents have been busy wrapping gifts and decorating more of our beautiful pens – they’ve been so popular that they’re selling as quickly as we can make them! 💐✒️

We also enjoyed a pamper in the salon with Sara, who always makes us feel our best – such a lovely treat. 💇‍♀️💅

Movie time brought plenty of smiles with Mary Poppins and Mrs Doubtfire on the big screen, both firm favourites among residents. 🎬🍿

And we’re already looking forward to next week as we celebrate Limewood’s 11th anniversary on Tuesday with some delicious treats to enjoy together. 🥳🎂
