A very big ‘Thank you’ goes to our Manager “Mark”, who arranged our General Staff Meeting in the Sensory Garden. Instead of us all sitting in an overheated conservatory, we could feel the sun and a light breeze, which put everybody in good form.

Mark welcomed new staff and updated us on lots of new regulations. Staff had their word too. 90 minutes later everybody went back to their duties and also informed the staff who stayed with our residents for the time being.

The 2019 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo celebrated the “Kaleidoscope” which featured a colourful talent from around the world on the magnificent esplanade of Edinburgh Castle.

This spectacular annual variety show with military bands and hundreds of performers from around the world, set against the iconic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle was our Residents’ entertainment last Sunday night.

Obviously, they could only watch the televised show in their lounges, but it was a great change of scenery. Our Scottish flag was waving in the wind and the Scottish whiskey was ready. Everybody was happy enjoying this wonderful show.

Slàinte mhath – Cheers Scotland! 

Residents and their Families could not sit still when they listened to the “Foxtrot, Waltz and the Tango Rhythms”

It was an afternoon of dance and memories. Betty’s face says everything. She was one happy lady in the arms of her beloved Husband Bev.

Well done Ladies and Gentlemen!

On Thursday 22nd August 2019, Birchy Hill celebrated “National Burger Day”.

For some Residents it was a completely new meal experience. Although there was some scepticism in the beginning, but all Residents loved their ‘modern’ food in the end.

Thank you, Samantha, for that delicious idea!

Some of our Residents still enjoy their weekly Arts and Crafts sessions.

Here you can see 2 Gentlemen in Cedars proudly showing us their art work.
