Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home

The names Doris, Elsie and Gladys aren’t among the tags you’d normally expect to see written in graffiti, but a group of care home residents have proved that you’re never too old to learn new skills by taking a lesson in graffiti art. Vanda Bradshaw and Audrey Clarke were two of the residents at Tennyson Wharf to grab an aerosol and learn the art. They were taught by artist James Mayle, who usually teaches much younger people how to wield spray paint.

Residents tasted chocolates from around the world, trying to guess exactly where they were from and what they contained. They very much enjoyed the experience! They then indulged in a chocolate fondue – dipping strawberries into melted chocolate. They had as much fun licking the remains off their fingers as they did consuming the end result.

We were unlucky enough to choose the only day that it was windy and raining to go to the beach, but that didn't stop residents from enjoying themselves!

What a wonderful morning!  Our weekly toddler group and parents, and our residents, were enthralled when Pets At Home visited with baby rabbits and Guinea pigs. There were lots of cuddles and smiles!

The sun was shining at the Lincolnshire Show, where our lovely General Manager, Katie, presented the prizes for the 'Best in Class' of these woolly friends! The sheep were judged on their general health as well as size and build. Tennyson Wharf loves getting involved with events in the local community, and we like to take residents out for day trips as often as possible.

Residents got creative and produced these decorations and scrumptious cakes in readiness for celebrating the Queen’s birthday.
