Poppies of Remembrance
A Taste of Homemade Happiness at Cadbury Hall
Cadbury Hall residents were busy in the kitchen, rolling up their sleeves and making some homemade scones.
The memories that baking scones churned up for the Cadbury Hall residents were to be admired. As they created a little flour dust and got involved with kneading and shaping their creations, our residents talked fondly about doing this with their families in their younger days. "Nothing beats the smell of freshly made scones" said Gwen as she and her fellow residents waited patiently to enjoy the fruits of their labour.
Chitter Chatter Coffee Club
Our Activity Coordinator Tina teamed up with Michelle from our sister home at Ouse View to bring residents together for our Chitter chatter club, it was a lovely afternoon of chatting, making new friends and sharing stories over tea and cake.
We were also delighted to welcome sixth form students from Archbishop Holgate School bringing generations together for some lovely conversations, laughter and new connections.
A lovely reminder that friendships can start with just a cuppa and a chat!

A wonderful day at the cricket
Residents from Snowdrop Place enjoyed a fantastic day out at the Utilita Bowl to watch a county cricket match.
We settled in to watch the action on the pitch, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy lunch together, with a little tipple too. With plenty of smiles, good company and cricket to enjoy, it was a lovely opportunity to spend the day out together.
Autumnal Craft Session
Our residents enjoyed a arts and craft session, making Autumn wreaths to decorate Herne Place.
Cheese and Wine Evening
Our residents enjoyed a Cheese and Wine tasting session recently. We all tried various types of wine and cheeses, which went down a treat!
Our resident June requested a visit from Parrots and we were only too happy to make her wish come true!
It was a truly wonderful experience from the Parrots and Pirates. We thank you, Tony and Tina, for providing such an informative and exciting afternoon. We loved getting to know these beautiful creatures and being able to feed and hold them.
Our residents will certainly be talking about this for a while. As for June, she said it was all that she had hoped for. It was delightful to see all the residents enjoying this visit and interacting with the parrots. Time flies by when you’re having fun!
