St Patrick's Day
We celebrated St Patrick’s Day in recognition of the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. The home was decorated with shamrocks and we all enjoyed exploring the Irish culture through a variety of themed activities.
Our residents marked the day by making shamrock decorations; learning some Irish words and phrases whilst listening to Irish music. Our talented chef prepared a fantastic spread of traditional Irish dishes for all to enjoy, all washed down with Guinness and Irish whiskey. Our residents had a brilliant day today.
