Activities at Magnolia Court Care Home

Thank you to all those who joined us on Tuesday evening for the Crohns and Colitis talk with DR James Holt. I am sure you will agree it was a very interesting and informative talk.Dr James spoke about his journey as both a patient with Crohn’s and a doctor, and the charity he volunteers for @Crohn’sandColitisUK who support patients across the country. More information and support can be found on https://crohnsandcolitis.org.ukWe hope to host an information and support group for Crohn’s and Colitis in the future. Keep following us for updates.

It's sherry o'clock at Magnolia Court, as some of the residents enjoyed a tipple before lunch. Some sipped a Sherry and some opted for a Bailey's while Tammie, our lifestyle coordinator quizzed us with general knowledge questions.Cheers everyone!

Residents at Magnolia Court were delighted when lovely 5 year old Scooby came to visit, accompanied by Des from Performing Pets. 

What a lovely surprise it was to see Scooby trotting around our lovely home! Scooby visited residents in their rooms and brought a smile to everyone's face. Magnolia Court was full of cuddles and smiles. It is always a special day when animals come to visit.

We are very lucky to have such wonderful parks in close proximity from our home. Making the most of the gorgeous weather we decided to visit the local park, catch some rays, have a walk and then finish off our visit with a cup of tea and an ice cream. We also had fun watching the many dogs that were out for dog walks which then had residents reminiscing of their own dogs and the ones they used to have.

Peggy "Margaret" O’Reilly, is one of the wonderfully talented residents at Magnolia Court Care home and we are helping Peggy re connect with some of her friends from her Bowling Days at Childs Hill Park Granville Road NW2 2AT.

Peggy lived in Crewys Road, very close to Childs hill Park and started Bowling during the 1980’s with her sister Bridie. They played together for many years until Peggy's sister, Bridie, sadly passed away in 2006. Peggy won many trophies as you can see in the photo

Peggy said "We used to play indoor in the winter and travelled to competitions to several clubs. I miss my bowling days and it would be lovely to catch up with anyone that remembers the Childs Hill Bowling Club."

Peggy also is qualified as a Tai chi trainer and run a club at St Agnes center for 46years as a charity.We are contacting local bowls club to see if we can track her buddies down so we can arrange a game. Let us know if you think you can help?

RAF Guest Speaker

We had a wonderful afternoon recently when Guest speaker, Rhiannon from the The Royal Air Force Museum London came to visit us.

As some of you might be aware resident Stuart has close ties to the royal air force and this was an especially poignant afternoon for him. Rhiannon talked us through the entire history of the RAF and we loved to hear the stories of men and women who made history.

It was a wonderfully insightful and interesting afternoon and everyone listened intently.

We were also delighted when Rhiannon gifted Stuart a bag of special RAF memorabilia.

Thank you again to The Royal Air Force Museum London for taking the time to come and see us.
