Residents and staff at Springhill Care Home in Accrington gathered to mark VE Day recently.

To commemorate the Victory in Europe in May 1945, they all watched news footage and announcements from the time and shared their own wartime memories and those passed from family members.

There were a range of newspaper articles from the day that they made available along with photographs of people gathering to celebrate the end of the war.

It was a lovely occasion with tea and beautiful cakes, and later in the afternoon music and dance.

Riversway Nursing Home residents were treated to a demonstration of traditional dancing recently.

Local Bristol dancer Polly came to visit and brought a Maypole with her, to the delight of their residents.

She gave a lovely demonstration of this traditional dance involving plenty of colourful ribbons, and even got some of Riversway's ladies and gentlemen involved too.

Recently our ladies and gentlemen at Birch Green put on their sun cream and summer hats and made the most of the glorious weather.

The ever-popular lunch club was enjoyed outside in their garden – there’s nothing better than lunch al fresco, and in true Birch Green style they finished the afternoon with a good old sing-song.

Recently a new activity was launched for residents at Riversway Nursing Home in Bristol – Wine Wednesday.

Selections of wine were on offer, from rose to white, and the drinks were accompanied by food options including tapas, cheese and raspberries.

They all had a great evening and heard stories about Dionysus, the Greek God of wine and celebrations, but most enjoyed the chance for a chat and socialising.
