Classical Tea Party
To make the most of the glorious weather, we decided to hold our tea party in the lovely grounds of Badgeworth Court. Finger sandwiches, cakes and scones were served to residents, friends and family on the finest china, whilst the 'King & Rackham Duo' performed on the violin and piano. We all enjoyed sitting in the sunshine, socialising and listening to classical music.
A Walk Around the Grounds
Residents are particularly lucky here at Badgeworth, as the grounds are absolutely stunning. Justin, our Gardener, takes pride in the gardens and the residents love to see him hard at work. We’ve had particularly nice weather over the last few weeks and the sunshine has highlighted the wonderful array of colours that the flowers provide in the grounds. Visiting the sheep, Shetland pony and the horse at the bottom of the garden is a real treat, as the rolling hills of Gloucestershire provide a serene backdrop.
Massage Therapy
Residents at Badgeworth enjoyed a fantastic day of pampering from Lisa Tilley. We converted one of our grand lounges into a spa for the day, with a picturesque room divider, a therapy bed and soft flickering candles. There was relaxing music and a beautiful selection of aromatherapy oils, which were a real treat for residents.
