We Held the first of our blue light breakfast , and had the pleasure of having breakfast with the lovely firefighters from Red Watch at Dogsthorpes Firehouse. Our residents enjoyed sharing their breakfast table, eating, and chatting about life at Longueville. 

They then had a demonstration of some of the amazing equipment used. Red Watch then enjoyed a tour of our home and met residents and staff.

We had the pleasure of celebrating a very special birthday with Miriam and her friends. The day started with a birthday card from the king, then a pamper session followed by her birthday party in which she was surrounded by all her friends and family.  

Miriam really did enjoy her day, and said “the highlight was receiving my birthday card from King Charles.” 

Today we, Lisa from Hampton Grove and Tracie and Lesley from Werrington Lodge activities, did a sponsored walk around the ham trail in Ferry Meadows to raise money for the Barchester foundation charity. 

It was a great morning. The sun was shining, and it was all for a good cause.

Over the Easter weekend we had a lot happening. We had the Easter egg delivered to each resident’s room, and an Easter tea afternoon with Lesley.

Vikki also held a 'find the Easter bunny' competition for the kiddies, which was a huge success. The kids and residents really had a fun afternoon. It really was a wonderful weekend.
