Life at Longueville Court Care Home
Autumnal Bakes
Our Memory Lane ladies enjoyed baking homemade apple pies and crumble with custard so we could all eat these scrummy warm pies with our afternoon tea. They kept busy chatting about their own recipes and adding a little sparkle to each pie.
Big Brass Band
So today we had the fabulous Salvation Army came into entertain our residents. They played a few hymns that we all know and loved.
Karl Entertains
We all had a superb afternoon with our singer Karl. Lots of singing and dancing from our residents and our staff. The ladies loved being serenaded by Karl, such a cheeky chappie. Lots of familiar songs that we love and know. Refreshments were served during the performance with a lovely homemade cake from our chef. Thank you Nasco.
Do remember if you’d like to come along to see one of our performers, just let us know and we will reserve you a seat and a slice of cake.
