Congratulations to our “Diamond Couple”
Birchy Hill Resident Joyce Foot and her Husband Derek celebrated their Diamond Wedding Anniversary on Thursday 3rd November 2016, with friends and family here at Birchy Hill
They shared their memories of their 60 year marriage with all of us and we congratulated them with an anniversary cake and a glass of champagne.
A very big “Hip Hip Hooray” to Joyce and Derek – they are a true example for their wedding vows “Fore better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, til death do us part”
On behalf of Angel Care and MNS Care, I would like to congratulate you both on your 60th anniversary
A Penny for the Guy
Remember, Remember the 5th of November………
Who of us would ever forget this poem? Guy Fawkes and the failed “Gunpowder PLot” in 1605.
Following the thwarting of the plot Londoners were encouraged to celebrate the King’s escape from assassination by the lighting of bonfires.
His tradition continues today 411 years later. all over the United Kingdom
To foot the bill for the traditional fireworks, children roam the streets in the days leading up to the event, brandishing their effigies – known as “GUYS” – and therefore ask people passing by for “A PENNY FOR THE GUY”
In Birchy Hill we took up this tradition, and built a “GUY” and then wheeled him through the Home, Some of our Residents remembered stories about “Guy Fawkes” from their Childhoods and they also remember throwing a penny or two in the tin.
Afterwards we put the “Guy” onto our indoor bonfire and celebrated with piano tunes by Alastair Hume and had a nice tea party.
There was chatting and laughter and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Bundle of Joy
All the Staff at Hanbury Court would like to congratulate Staff Nurse Elsida Hoxha ans her Partner Marc on the birth of “Freddie” who weighed in at a whooping 9lb 8oz.
Congratulations from all at Angel Care and MNS Care
