Celebrating life at Barchester

Today we had the brilliantly talented crew from Tickled pink put on a beautiful performance, Musical Wonderland! The residents loved all the costumes changes, the songs, the dancing and the overall atmosphere of the play. 

Everyone had a great time taking part and singing along!  

Today's trip took us to the beautiful Sumner pond! We watched the ducks and fisherman, then we went for a drive around the lake.

Finally, we ended up in the lovely lakeside cafe, for a well-earned coffee break while we reminisced about our camping trips as children.    

Today, we celebrate the birthday of our wonderful resident, Barbara.

With delicious homemade birthday cake and live music from Daniel Gilmore, our beautiful lady had a brilliant day!   

We recently had the pleasure of participating in the Emergency Services Day, during which our team visited the fire station in Falmouth. It was a wonderful opportunity to engage with the local fire service, and we were proud to show our appreciation by bringing along some homemade cakes.

We’ve attached a selection of photos from the visit and would be grateful if you could add them to the Falmouth Court page to highlight this meaningful community interaction. 

The residents, staff and family at Chater Lodge enjoyed an operatic performance by Gabriella. Her distinctive singing style gave us all goose bumps and even made us cry.

Did you know opera singers are renowned for their powerful voices, able to belt out melodies to such a volume that they fill a whole opera house without a microphone? 

The residents at Chater Lodge sent beautiful letters to their loved ones. The letters were sent overseas to friends and family.
We sent correspondence in various ways: email and, of course, written letters.

All the residents that took part were happy to keep in contact and tell them their news. The residents are now happily awaiting their replies.

The residents at Chater Lodge were put through their paces with seated mobility exercises with the lovely Jake.

Residents and staff used resistant bands and balls to exercise, seated exercises are a fantastic way for our residents to keep fit and also improve their body core strength which helps them with their mobility and retain muscle strength. 

Here at Mulberry Court we are always looking for new destinations to visit, so when Thirsk garden centre was recommended we thought we'd have a run out, we were not disappointed!

Our lovely ladies really enjoyed looking at the Halloween and Autumn displays as well as the Christmas ones, with Mike from activities and resident Miriam even buying Christmas hats!!! We all enjoyed a delicious meal including "the best lemon drizzle cake" ever tasted in one of our residents opinion.

Thankfully we managed to avoid all the downpours and thunderstorms and arrived back at mulberry court in time for another cup of tea before our evening meals. 

Thank you Thirsk garden centre we will definitely be back.
