Celia Palmer
I’m Celia and I’m the Activity coordinator here at Edgbaston Beaumont. I previously worked as an activity coordinator in a hostel and am enjoying the shift into the residential setting. I have an arts background so enjoy painting and drawing in my spare time, which hopefully I can share my love for with the residents here. I also enjoy reading, travel, live music and looking after my cats! And copious amounts of tea.

Life at Edgbaston Beaumont Care Home
International Women's Day
To mark International Women’s Day, the ladies of Edgbaston Beaumont gathered in the Cafe for tea and coffee and talked about their lives, shared photographs and words of wisdom for young women today. We also took time to learn and talk about Inspirational women throughout history. It was lovely to all come together to reminisce and learn a bit more about each other.
St David's Day
We had a wonderful time celebrating St David's Day.
The dining room was decorated for the occasion with Welsh flags and beautiful daffodils. Our residents enjoyed a delicious lunch of Welsh Leak and Stilton Soup or Welsh Rarebit to start, Shepherd’s Pie or Leek and Potato Bake for the main course followed by traditional Bara Birth Welsh Tea Loaf with Whipped Cream for dessert.
After lunch we all enjoyed entertainment from the fantastic Barry in the Lounge who entertained us with a Welsh themed show and performed songs from famous Welsh singers such as Katherine Jenkins, Tom Jones, Shirley Bassy, Harry Seacombe and Richie Valens.
There was lots of waving of flags and singing along and we all had a lovely afternoon.

Historic Royal Palaces
Our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
Book Club Corner
Across our services, our residents had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.
The virtual book club experience was truly enjoyed by all.
Visit from Crescent Day Nursery
We had a lovely time with the children from Crescent Day Nursery. Our residents decorated plant pots and planted flowers for the garden with the children.
Thank you so much to the staff and children for a fantastic morning and also for the beautiful drawings. We very much look forward to you all visiting again soon!
