A day-trip to St Ives
We love nothing more than an outing on the minibus so when some of our residents said that they would like to go to St Ives we were more than happy to oblige.
Valerie, Andy and John had a lovely time walking along the Great River Ouse and crossing the famous Chapel Bridge before stopping to feed the pigeons and ducks.
The day ended with a well-earned coffee and hot drink before we boarded the minibus to go back to the home.

Easter fun at Bayleaf
Gardening Joy!
Brian was hard at work today getting these gorgeous hydrangeas into the grounds of Paternoster House. Brian might be the one with the shovel, but we all know who the real boss is!
Len was sat supervising Brian and making sure they were watered before we left. Thanks to Daniel Robinson & Sons these colors are absolutely breathtaking.
Spring Blossom - Happy Days
Sometimes the best medicine is simply listening. While walking down 'Memory Lane' today, our lovely Mark mentioned how much he’d love to go outside. Our activity coordinator didn't miss a beat, we grabbed his coat and shoes, and off we went!
The surprise and pure joy on his face as he took in the fresh air and the spring blossoms made his whole afternoon.
The treat didn't end there, though! Once we finished our stroll, we headed into our cafe for a warm cup of tea and a slice of cake. Mark was so happy and relaxed, it was a beautiful reminder that it’s these simple, spontaneous moments that truly matter most.
Loving Mothering Sunday
A fun filled Mothering weekend. There’s no love quite like a mother’s love!
We’ve had a truly special Mothering Sunday weekend here at Paternoster House. From our sip and paint activity we created some daffodil watercolor painting to enjoying a glass of bubbly or two, it has been non-stop smiles.
A huge thank you to all the families who visited and made the day so bright.
Every one of our wonderful ladies received a special handmade gift from our activities coordinator to let them know just how much they are cherished.
