One of our Residents’ most beloved activities are the Boat trips in the summer months.

We boarded the “Alison MacGregor” a motor yacht which is free for disabled people and their carers.

This year’s first ‘cruise’ through the Solent and Southampton Harbour was a great success.

The sunshine and sea made everybody happy.

Our Residents arrived back home talking about their lovely trip.

Our Residents enjoyed this week’s lovely weather with some gardening activities.

No surprise, that they loved a nice bowl of ice cream after planting and watering some new flowers.

Unfortunately, the Strawberries were not yet ripe enough to be snacked.

……….. With The Jingle Ladies

‘You are my Sunshine’, ‘It’s a long way to Tipperary’ and ‘The White Cliffs of Dover’ are only a few of the many well-known songs the Jingle Ladies were singing to entertain our Residents, who joined in singing, clapping, whistling and tapping feet. Everybody was very happy.

The ‘Jingle Ladies’ are a group of friends in the Hythe & Waterside area, who came together in November 2018 to sing some wartime songs to the Residents of local Care Homes for the Armistice Day Centenary.

It was such a success that they were asked to come back at Christmas – so they decided to continue with community sing-alongs, and that was a very good decision!

We will see you again very soon.

Thank you for bringing lots of joy to Birchy Hill!

Recently we could witness the many talents that our Indian staff’s children have to offer.

Age was not a problem. They could all dance and sing, even the youngest!

Thank you, children! You brought Bollywood to the New Forest!

Even Managers celebrate birthdays, too.

Happy Birthday, Mark

Many Happy Returns from everybody at Birchy Hill
