Two of our residents organised an Ascension Day service for us all this afternoon.
Other residents did bible readings, the collect and played the piano for us as we sang. It was a lovely service and we would like to thank everyone that took part. At the end the residents said thank you to each and everyone of us at Bushells and all clapped for.us

The residents had a poetry reading afternoon, as well as reading out old favourites the residents were invited to bring a piece of poetry they had written themselves. Here are three for you to read and enjoy.

Thank you to all the wonderful people that have made face masks for us. There are too many to name individually. The different colours and patterns have become a real talking point with all the residents. We really appreciate all the hard work and time that has gone into making them.

The residents enjoyed their sports day today. There were 4 events – javelin, curling, target practice and bowls. We had a fabulous afternoon and lots of laughs.
We would like to thank Goosnargh Oliverson’s for the loan of the equipment.

The residents enjoyed a virtual walk through part of Pompeii this afternoon. It was fascinating to see all the well-preserved ruins, left behind by a city buried in Vesuvius’s wake. I wonder where our next walk will take us.

Some of our residents organised a sing-a-long for us all this afternoon. We sang along to some of the old classics and it was great fun. Thank you.

A huge thank you to Eryl for for kindly bringing clay for the residents, it was very thoughtful. We had a lovely afternoon making some very interesting pieces.

The residents chocolate tasting on Easter Saturday.

These are a few of the different types of chocolate that we tried during our tasting this afternoon. 85% cocoa, 70% cocoa, which were rather bitter. The Ginger 60%, Raspberry, orange and almond 47% cocoa and Butterscotch milk 30% were very nice but the Venezuelan single bean was by far everyone’s favourite. They were all delicious and enjoyed by all.

The Easter table decorations were absolutely beautiful. You all did an amazing job.
