St Patrick's Day - Baking Soda Bread with friends

Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick is a religious and cultural holiday held around the world. So to mark this occasion, today residents made Irish soda bread, which was traditionally made with just four ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt, and buttermilk, making it accessible during times of scarcity, such as the Irish Potato Famine.
Julia and Janardan spent tie making loaves this morning to share with residents and doesn't the end results look delicious with the shamrock decoration!

Musical Memories

This morning we met to have some musical memories which our residents enjoyed especially as we looked through some old LP’s and played them on the record player. Yvonne one of our residents said she really enjoyed reminiscing to some of her favourites such as Neil Diamond, and Bill particularly liked the musicals.
