…has always been one of my favourite chores’ (Eaun Simpson).

No problem, Eaun, you can do this whenever you like!

On Wednesday, 14^th March, the Global Tea Party took place wherever Nutrition and Hydration Week was being supported.

Birchy Hill’s Service users and their Guests were very excited to be part of such a global challenge.

They enjoyed the lovely High Tea and being entertained by Alastair Hume.

A big Thank You to everybody helping to make it possible.

This is a global challenge to create a movement to reinforce, focus, energise, create activity and engagement for nutrition and hydration as a fundamental element to maintaining the health and well-being for our global community.

Here at Birchy Hill we have been taking part in this challenge for many years.

This year we introduced new drinks and food to our Service users. There was a yummy Chocolate Fondue with fruit pieces, Smoothie Time, Homemade Banana Bread prepared from scratch, our Fruity Friday where some exotic fruit was on offer, Coconut Day with drinks, sweets and lunch prepared with coconuts, ice creams, Irish delicacies, and of course a Global Tea Party with wonderful buffet food to tuck in.

Lots of information was given, how to ‘eat your water’ with details of fruits’ and vegetables’ water content. Interestingly many Service users told us that they prefer flavoured water to squash.

We will take their wishes into consideration.

While Joyce was waiting for her Sons to come for Mother’s Day, she helped to surprise all the other Ladies in our Home.

Chocolates for all dietary needs and tastes were on offer.

Everybody, including Visitors, were very touched by this lovely gesture.

Thank you Joyce, hope you had a pleasant Sunday too

Eaun enjoyed being a happy Granddad to our lovely dolls. He hugged and cradled them like real babies before he put them back to sleep into their pram.

Surely he will visit them more often in the near future.
