Our Residents enjoyed an afternoon being taken into the fairy tales of Thousand and one Nights.
Some of our Gentlemen were invited to dance with the Flowers of the Desert and they certainly loved it.
The Oriental music, the colourful costumes and the dancers brightened up the day for everyone.
A big Thank you to Habibi from all at Birchy Hill for this nice afternoon entertainment.
A big day for our English Residents as they were very proud to celebrate St George’s Day on Monday, 23rd April.
The English flag was waving to us from the garden, the lounges were decorated with English roses, and the kitchen spoiled us with a wonderfully themed High Tea in the afternoon.
A big Thank you to our Chef and her lovely cup cakes
As part of our animal therapy sessions we invited Pedro the Donkey and his handler Ron from the Animal Sanctuary Mike’s Donkeys.
The Residents loved Pedro. He was kissed and hugged and was even offered to sleep in one gentlemen’s bed. Everyone laughed when they saw how many ‘Rolos’ a Donkey can eat on his way through a Care Home.
To our surprise the Donkey was able to walk up and downstairs without a problem and could therefore visit all our 5 different units easily.
We hope to see Pedro again soon and send him a grateful ‘hee-haw’.
How much is that doggie in the window?
Last week ‘The Friendship Singers’ entertained our Residents with well-known songs like ‘…the doggie in the window’, and everybody joined in.
It was lovely to hear how the lyrics have been remembered over many years. The afternoon was full of joy and laughter.
‘The Friendship Singers’ are a group of Ladies and Gentlemen from the Catholic Church in Lymington who like to bring happiness to Birchy Hill’s residents, and they clearly succeeded.
Thank you very much for this lovely time
Dancing to the Music
As for many years we celebrated National Care Home Day in style. The singer Mike Sidaway was a great success with our Residents as he entertained us with tunes from Frank Sinatra and many more.
His audience just loved him. Some could not sit still anymore and started to dance either with Staff or Visitors who came for the Open Day.
This year’s motto was ‘Linking Communities’ and many guests came from nearby villages to take the opportunity to see Birchy Hill ‘in action’.
A lovely tea party rounded the day up and everyone left with a happy smile on their lips.
