Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
King's Coronation Celebrations Begin at Badgeworth Court
Badgeworth Court's King's Coronation celebrations got off to a flying start with a wonderful show from the D-Day Dollies, thank you for such an entertaining show. Residents were toe tapping and flag waving to familiar classic songs. We also celebrated resident James' birthday so as well as delicious home-made scones for afternoon tea there was birthday cake!
Badgeworth Court Residents Visit Local Garden Centre
We took advantage of a sunny day taking the Badgeworth Court residents on a trip to Dundry Nurseries, a local garden centre. Everyone enjoyed a stroll around looking at the plants and pet shop followed by delicious tea and cake in the cafe.
Badgeworth's Honey Bees
Badgeworth Court residents and visitors enjoyed a very interesting talk from Harry's Honey our very own bee keeper. Owner of Harry's Honey Ian keeps some of his hives here at Badgeworth Court. The honey enjoyed in the home and it really is the tastiest honey doesn't even cover food miles, just yards!
Ian's talks are fascinating and he bought in some of his bees in this colony of the hive there would be in the region of 6,000-8,000 bees. When the honey is made in the height of the summer months the bees grow in number to 60,000-80,000. There is one queen in the hive who lives for 3-4 years. Harry's Honey not only produce honey, they breed queens and train bee keepers.
The location in Badgeworth Court's apple orchard is one of the prime locations, half a ton of honey was produced in 7-8 days last year. The company sell to local farm shops, restaurants and Cotswold ice cream makers. When supplying restaurants the honey is literally supplied in buckets!
After the talk everyone was able to get up close to the bees and watch them working. Ian also chatted to residents individually answering their questions. Thank you so much for your time and for the delicious honey.
Coronation Themed Arts and Crafts
Badgeworth Court residents enjoyed a Coronation themed arts and crafts day. With painting in the morning of our own crowns, thank you to volunteer Iris for supporting the session. There were some beautiful colours and it was lovely all to get round the table for a good chat as well.
