Tea, Cake, and Couture: Ladies Day Out
Some of our lovely ladies recently enjoyed a delightful day out in town as they began preparations for the upcoming Ascot races. With excitement in the air, the ladies visited several shops to try on a variety of stylish and elegant hats, each hoping to find the perfect piece to complete their race day outfits. Laughter and smiles filled the day as they admired each other’s choices and shared their opinions on the most fashionable and flamboyant designs.
After a successful hat-hunting trip, the group made their way to a local garden centre, where they relaxed and enjoyed a well-deserved tea break. Surrounded by beautiful flowers and greenery, they indulged in delicious cake and a warm cup of tea while chatting about their favourite picks and plans for Ascot.
It was a wonderful outing that combined fashion, friendship, and a touch of luxury—everything that makes these special days so memorable. Events like these not only bring joy and anticipation for upcoming celebrations but also provide cherished opportunities for social connection and fun. We look forward to seeing our ladies dressed in their finest as Ascot approaches, and we’re so proud to be part of these joyful moments.


Bringing Colour to Our Garden!
This week, we enjoyed a wonderful gardening activity in our home, bringing a splash of colour to our outdoor space. Residents gathered together outside to plant a variety of beautiful flowers in our high planters, which were perfectly positioned to make the activity accessible and comfortable for everyone. The bright blooms instantly lifted the atmosphere, adding vibrant reds, yellows, and purples to our garden.
It was a lovely sight as a couple of families joined in the fun, making it a special intergenerational activity. Visiting family members worked alongside their loved ones, sharing stories, laughter, and plenty of smiles. The simple act of planting flowers sparked lovely conversations and allowed everyone to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine.
Activities like these not only beautify our surroundings but also provide meaningful moments of connection, relaxation, and creativity for our residents. The sense of accomplishment was clear on everyone’s faces as they admired the finished planters. We are all looking forward to watching the flowers grow and bloom over the coming weeks, bringing ongoing joy to residents, staff, and visitors alike.


Marking D-Day with Special Sing-A-Long
At Badgeworth Court, we recently marked D-Day with a heartfelt and memorable celebration to honour the bravery and sacrifices of those who served during World War II. It was a touching afternoon filled with music, memories, and a strong sense of gratitude.
To help us commemorate the occasion, we welcomed the fabulous Army Annies, a talented singing duo who brought the spirit of the 1940s to life. Dressed in vintage attire, they performed a beautiful selection of wartime songs that had our residents tapping their feet, singing along, and even shedding a few emotional tears. Their performance truly transported us back in time.
We also enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea. Our tables were decorated with red, white, and blue, and the room was filled with stories as residents reminisced about their own experiences or those passed down through family.
It was more than just an event—it was a moment of connection, reflection, and pride. Honouring D-Day gave everyone a chance to remember the strength and resilience of a generation, and it brought our care home community even closer together. We are proud to continue these traditions and ensure such important moments are never forgotten.


What’s the Buzz? A Bee-rilliant Visit to Celebrate International Bee Day!
To mark International Bee Day, our home was all abuzz with excitement as we welcomed a very special guest—a local beekeeper! His visit turned out to be both a sweet treat and a fascinating learning experience for all of us.
Our buzzing visitor gave a wonderfully informative talk about the importance of bees, their role in pollination, and how they help keep our ecosystems thriving. Residents were captivated by his stories about hive life, queen bees, and how beekeepers care for these incredible insects.
But the fun didn’t stop there—after the talk, we were treated to a tasting session of his homemade honey. Fresh, golden, and delicious, the honey was a hit with everyone, sparking memories and conversations about childhood gardens, summer flowers, and even old family recipes.
Residents had the chance to see real beekeeping equipment up close and ask questions about everything from bee behaviour to making honey. It was a very educational afternoon that had everyone smiling.
We’re so grateful to our beekeeper guest for sharing his passion with us and helping to raise awareness of just how vital bees are to our planet. It truly was a bee-rilliant day to remember.



Local Fire Brigade Visits Our Care Home
We were delighted to welcome our local fire brigade for a special visit to our care home this week. It was a wonderful and engaging event that brought plenty of excitement to everyone involved.
The firefighters gave an informative and reassuring talk about fire safety, sharing practical tips and important advice tailored to our residents and staff. They answered questions with warmth and clarity, ensuring everyone felt confident and informed about what to do in the event of an emergency.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the chance to get up close and personal with a real fire engine. Some of the younger visitors took this opportunity to sit inside the fire engine, explore the equipment, and even try on a firefighter’s helmet. It sparked curiosity and many fond memories, and our residents loved the chance to chat with the team and hear stories from their experiences on the job.
We are incredibly grateful to the fire brigade for taking the time to visit us and for their continued dedication to keeping our community safe. Events like these not only inform but also inspire—and they remind us all of the incredible people who serve and protect our communities every day.





Celebrating 80 Years of VE Day in Style – A Two-Day Tribute at Our Home
Our home was alive with music, remembrance, and a strong sense of community as we marked the 80th anniversary of VE Day with a heartfelt two-day celebration, bringing together residents, staff, and families for a truly special occasion.
Day One began with an incredible performance by the Barrack Boys, who brought the spirit of the 1940s alive with their toe-tapping tunes and vintage charm. The home was beautifully decorated with bunting, flags, and wartime memorabilia, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that transported everyone back in time. Residents sang along, shared their wartime stories, and enjoyed the uplifting energy that filled every room.
Day Two continued the festivities with another talented singer, Amanda Jane Vintage who had everyone swaying and smiling. The highlight of the afternoon was a wonderful picnic, lovingly prepared by our dedicated kitchen staff, complete with classic treats and refreshments enjoyed in our garden. As part of the celebration, we were also honoured to mark the 100th birthday of one of our incredible residents—a truly remarkable milestone that added even more meaning to the day.
It was a celebration full of love, reflection, and unity. We’re so proud to have shared this memorable moment in history with our wonderful community. Here’s to remembering the past and cherishing the present!
