Inspired by the Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling event, Riversway Nursing Home in Bristol hosted its own celebration recently.

Each year the Spring bank holiday sees wheels of cheese rolled down a steep hill at the village of Cooper’s Hill near Gloucester.

So Riversway residents and staff team gathered to roll their own, complete with names given to them for the occasion.

The winner of the event was named Milly the Moo, owned by Monica, who won a big bar of chocolate. Afterwards they toasted with different cheeses and drinks including berry cider and grapes, and took part in a singalong.

People who didn’t make it to the rolling competition, still received a tasty cracker given by Rita complete with cheese topping.

Everyone had a great time taking part.

In May Springhill Care Home in Accrington enjoyed a fabulous concert from “The Bluebirds”.

The Bluebirds brought their “Swinging 60s” show to Springhill – just one of the shows from their fabulous repertoire.

They sung a wide variety of songs including hits from The Beatles, The Shirelles, The Crystals, Andy Williams and so many more!

Everyone laughed, danced and mostly enjoyed the lovely voices of the singing and dancing duo.

They dressed up 60s style and also did synchronised dance moves which made it all the more enjoyable – and they even gave our ladies and gentlemen, and staff team some dance moves to join in with them!

We can definitely say we all hope to see them back at Springhill Care Home very soon!

Everyone had lots of fun taking part in a special sensory session recently at Riversway Nursing Home in Bristol.

They spent time smelling aftershaves and soaps and looking at all the different objects, tasting sweets and even listening to the sound of the sea, everyone loved all the bubbles!

They even had a surprise visit from Charley, a beautiful sausage dog whom all the residents, and staff team adore.

Birch Green Care Home in Skelmersdale was filled with the aroma of freshly baked cakes recently.

A group of residents decided the best thing to accompany a nice cuppa would be some cakes, so set to work after deciding on the recipe to use.

After lots of weighing, whisking and mixing, and being cooked in the oven under the watchful eye of Edna, the cakes were then cooled and decorated.

They went down a treat!
