Celebrating life at Barchester

What a wonderful day we had at Mill Court for our Charity BBQ, we truly had the best time and it was so lovely to see our team, residents and members of the community come together for a song and dance and to of course enjoy a yummy spread.

Our residents had a wonderful day out in Southsea, enjoying the fresh sea air and beautiful coastal views.

The trip provided a great opportunity to relax, socialise, and create special memories together. From strolling along the seafront to enjoying refreshments and taking in the sights, everyone had a fantastic time.

Our residents recently enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea in the sunshine, complete with delicious treats, warm drinks and wonderful company.

It was fantastic to see everyone relaxing outdoors, sharing stories, laughter and making the most of the beautiful weather together. 

We came together for a lovely tea party filled with smiles, laughter, music and plenty of patriotic spirit. From union jack hats and bows, to delicious treats and shared memories, it was a special way to honour such an important occasion and remember the generation who have so much.

We recently took a trip to the Tangmere Military Aviation Museum, there was so much history, incredible aircraft, and fasinating stories behind them all. From vintage planes to modern aviation displays, there was something amazing around every corner.

The day was especially meaningful for one of our residents, a former RAF pilot, who was able to share personal memories and experiences from his time in service.

What an absolutely wonderful time on our first official monthly walk here at Glebefields! 
Eight of our lovely visitors and team members laced up their walking shoes for a fantastic adventure around Banbury. Our special guest star was our Deputy Manager’s 8-year-old daughter, Amy! She kept everyone on their toes, putting our walkers through their paces while chattering away the entire time. It was simply adorable! Our Head of Maintenance, Simon, acted as our expert tour guide, sharing some amazing local history and stories with Amy and the group as we explored.  

Amy gave us a rundown on her adventure "We passed a massive tree that was struck by lightning a few years ago. The Kissing Gate, We learned the funny story behind the fence it is said a farmer once trapped his girlfriend there until she gave him a kiss before leaving! The Dovecote its an ancient building that looks just like a miniature castle. Simon explained it was built long ago to feed birds and store food for the nearby estate. The Prince's Carving on a tall stone building block featuring carving in a foreign language by a prince".

We even braved a sudden downpour of rain, thunder, and lightning by sheltering safely under a big tree together which just added to the adventure!  Amy had so much fun learning all about the area, and our visitors had an absolute blast sharing the day with her. 

On return to the home our lovely visitors and staff were treated to sandwiches, crisps, tea, coffee and of course cake all complimentary from the homes dedicated hospitality team.
We are already looking forward to next month's walk! Hope you can Join us.
