During March we celebrated both Mothering Sunday and St Patricks Day. 

We celebrated Mother’s Day with all our ladies by taking chocolates and sherry onto each of the units – the Residents were all delighted with this!  We celebrated St Patricks Day on the Market Place with some entertainment with refreshments including Baileys and Guinness on offer to those who wanted it.  We all had a really good time and enjoyed a sing-along of all the Irish songs, we also had instruments and Irish hats to enjoy!

Our usual monthly activities are continuing and we had a day out to the Wirral for afternoon entertainment and afternoon tea with Ann, Maureen, Kitty, May, Marie and Alice who all enjoyed their day.  We also had Easter Crafts this month were we made Easter Bonnets for our Easter Bonnet Parade on Easter Monday.

During February we celebrated Chinese New Year with a Chinese meal followed by horoscopes for the New Year!  We also celebrated Joyce’s birthday on the same evening!

Our Social this month was again up in numbers, armchair exercise is also up on members and appears to be a firm favourite with our Residents.  We played ‘play your cards right’ this month as well as a new name that tune, and we have also introduced.  

We have now started our Book Club up again and our current book is ‘The Murder of Princess Diana’ – which is creating a good debate.  All our usual everyday activities are still up and running and going well.

We also had a choir in this month to perform in our Chapel which one of our Residents Peter was a member of – he sat with the choir and sang for us!  We had a really good turn out and all Residents who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

This month our trips out have included been pub lunches and shopping trips to Dobbies, B+M and Edge Lane shopping centre.

This month we again enjoyed more entertainment with Squeezy Stephen and Merseyside Just Sing Choir coming to sing to our Residents, as always this was enjoyed by all!

We held a table top sale during January which went very well with lots of Resident’s, their families and friends coming along which made it a big success! We have also enjoyed parities for Residents birthdays on their individual units and again the Social continues to bring in the numbers for the Residents favourite ‘Fish and Chip Supper’!  We also celebrated Burns night with a reminiscence on him whilst enjoying drinks, Scottish fruit cake and Shortbread biscuits.

Our everyday activities are all still ongoing with Armchair Exercise continuing to be a firm favourite and Bingo being requested for.  Yoga exercise is up for discussion and new quizzes of ‘Who am I?’ are going well as well as dominoes and tiddly winks.  Our trips out this month have included shopping trips and going out for lunch with a different unit each week.
