Getting into the Festive Spirit
The festive feeling is certainly starting to fill the rooms at Bayleaf with Christmas songs playing throughout the day and the residents have been getting involved in some very important jobs.....
With the Bayleaf Christmas Fayre only a few days away, Maureen, Joyce and Margaret have been busy making the all important reindeer food for Rudolph and his friends ready for Christmas Eve and we have been making some delicious mince pies although if they taste as good as they look we will certainly need to make lots more!!

House of Lords Charity Night
It was absolute honour to be invited to the House of Lords last night to celebrate the 8th Anniversary of the Manju Shahul- Hameed Foundation hosted by the Hon. Baroness Manila Uddin.
To be there representing Chestnut Gardens and to see so many influential people supporting this charity was amazing and to be a small part of this community I am truly grateful.

Lotus Manor Ladies enjoy a Christmas Shopping Spree!
Residents at Barchester Lotus Manor enjoyed a delightful seasonal outing this week as they visited a local garden centre to explore its Christmas displays and enjoy a spot of shopping.
The trip offered plenty of opportunities for residents to browse a wide range of seasonal treats, gifts, and decorations. Everyone enjoyed taking their time looking around the displays and soaking up the gentle festive atmosphere while chatting with staff and one another.
A highlight of the day was a relaxing visit to the garden centre’s charming tea rooms. Residents settled in with warm cake and a choice of comforting hot drinks .The perfect way to enjoy a winter outing together.
The visit was filled with good company, laughter, and plenty of seasonal cheer, a wonderful way to begin the countdown to Christmas at Lotus Manor.

Celebrating King Charles' Birthday
Today we marked the birthday of King Charles and decorated our home for the special occasion.
Our residents were treated to a right royal afternoon tea party where they enjoyed delicious cakes and savoury delicacies.
We also spent time watching the King's birthday celebrations giving him a 3-cheers and hat wave at the appropriate times!
Intergenerational Play at its Best
Taking part in intergenerational activities such as social engagements and interactions, bring together younger and older generations for a common purpose.
Once a month our residents are treated to the joy of seeing the children from Boogie Beat Music & Movement North Wiltshire enjoying life within our home. These activities build on the strengths that different generations have to offer, as well as nurture understanding, respect, and challenge ageism.
Our residents' smiles last all day long!
