Here at Edingley Lodge today we celebrated Father's day with a lovely tea party and cake cutting ceremony. It was such an honour to celebrate our male residents today, They had a great day and were overjoyed with the love, 

Father's Day is an annual holiday honouring people's fathers and celebrating the fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. It was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, in 1909.

Residents enjoyed a morning of flower arranging to mark British flower week. 

In the decade since New Covent Garden Flower Market first launched British Flowers Week in June 2013, the annual campaign has shone a spotlight on the British cut flower industry, raising the profile of growers, wholesalers and the florists who work with UK-grown flowers

a couple of our residents who are keen artists, had the pleasure of joining a local art class, where they had the opportunity to express their art in the way they wanted to,

June & Pauline residents at Edingley Lodge have always enjoyed art & have passion for art. so today was extra special for them, to join with other artists and share their beautiful art work whilst getting to know each other. We would like to thank Edwinstowe village hall for allowing us to fulfil their wishes.
