the cake

sneaked a look at the super wedding cake Sheila has made for the 'royal wedding party' tomorrow; looks delicious!

hope the weather stays fine and everyone enjoys the day...

trip out to langton green

we arranged a trip out today for the residents (who didn't go out last week) to see the bluebells and go for a drink - alas, no bluebells in sight (where did they all go?) so after a little drive out as far as groombridge, we ended up at 'the Hare'... in Langton Green for coffee/tea and half a lager for gordon!

peggy, gordon, doreen, lucille and jean had a lovely afternoon - marise and marian decided not to go after all - maybe next time...

the wisteria is out!

thought a picture of the wisteria would be appropriate today as it looks so lovely at the moment.

like your hat Peggy!

views from the patio today - peggy in her new hat and the iris's are out...

Lesley and Ray Orsen entertained residents with a classical music concert this afternoon in the lounge and sue enjoyed a lovely keep fit session this morning with some very energetic and enthusiastic participants - must be the sunshine cheering everyone up!

making a start on the bunting...

after a walk in the sunshine, Jean was persuaded to help with the making of some bunting in readiness for our royal wedding party on friday...dont forget relatives & friends you are welcome to join us!

Paul's last day!

sadly, it was time to say goodbye to chef Paul today - he is leaving MEH to take up a new challenge elsewhere. Karen presented him with a card signed by the residents and a bottle of champagne... he will be greatly missed by all and we wish him well in his new life.

easter bingo

marian and marie taking a well earned tea break during today's easter bingo session!

lunch al fresco

as the weather continues to be so lovely, the staff arranged lunch outside today under the canopies on the lawn - most of the residents chose to enjoy their fish and chips in the garden although some preferred the cool dining room!

after lunch, Rev Bob Street arrived to hold a short good friday service for several residents and then it was eyes down for the bingo in the games room - christiane had chosen an easter theme where the prizes were all made of chocolate!!

we were given flowers again today from sainsburys which we used to decorate the home and put up some easter decorations too.

happy easter to everyone.

and then a lovely cup of tea...

after the walk in the woods, a nice cup of tea in the nevill crest & gun!

our afternoon at eridge rocks

here are our intrepid residents marching through   eridge woods - we went to see the bluebells before heading off to the pub!

outside fun!

star of the show!

here is the winning entry - Patty's amazing hand drawn and painted in watercolour easter card! she was presented with her prizes (lindt easter egg, book token and a cheque for £100 which will go to a local charity) by a representative (kelly) of kent social services.

we are very proud of her.

computer lesson

patty enjoyed her computer lesson today - she discovered google earth with the help of val her tutor. after patty, it was iris's turn, then marie, sheila and lucille.

Happy Easter

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter Thank you for your continued support and hard work

From Karen

lovely day to be outside!

after keep fit, which Robert enjoyed enormously, carer Jo took him for a walk in the grounds - they were soon joined by Win.

over in the walled garden, phyll, pat and marie were enjoying a gentle swing in the shade before lunch.
