Activities at Tewkesbury Fields Care Home

Look at the beautiful little pots we've made.

We hold a weekly craft club and this morning we all got creative during the decoupage workshop with Brydie from Paint Pot Parties Ltd.

We always look forward to learning new techniques at our craft club and this morning gave us an insight into the endless crafts we can now adapt using decoupage - watch this space!

Sunday we welcomed Local Classic Car owners to come and have a coffee morning at Tewkesbury Fields.

They were warmly welcomed by our residents, families and staff and we had a wonderful morning recalling memories of cars owned by our residents from years past.

This was enjoyed by all and we have been asked if we can do it again and Classic car owners will bring more friends along. The next date will be Sunday 1st September.

We've had an amazing time celebrating the arrival of the fabulous Tour de Barchester cyclists  at Tewkesbury Fields.

Residents, families, staff and visitors gathered together as the chef cooked and served the delicious BBQ, we welcomed Emma from Mini Concerts who got us up dancing and singing together and we enjoyed socialising with each other in the gorgeous sunny weather.

Our fabulous resident ambassador Jack presented each cyclist with a medal to mark their visit at Tewkesbury Fields. It was also a time of reminiscence as Jack took part of the 1st Tour or Britain!

We also got to celebrate Barbara's birthday during the party with a delicious cake.

And yes, we REACHED 200 MILES on our exercise static bike 

Fantastic everyone, well done!

Concentration was key.....

This afternoon we spent a couple of hours learning how to play Chess.
We've started learning with one of the best teachers and players that we could possibly ask for, fabulous resident Jack. Our activities coordinator Paula and resident Vivienne

Always up to learn and develop new skills!

We shall continue taking more lessons.

Gardening club this week gave our residents a fabulous feeling of achievement!

Look at the amount of potatoes that we have grown.

Not only we picked great potatoes and strawberries from the garden, but we also had good fun, great laughter together, and just that feeling of being able to offer one of the residents' favourite hobbies, gardening.

Everyone commented on how beautiful they looked and the great work we've all done

Some of this week's activities included getting creative and soft ball games such as throw and catch, which was a fantastic way of doing gentle exercise as well as having good fun.

During the baking club, residents enjoyed making delicious cookies  

Great fun and with lots of memories shared between residents and staff, reminiscing about the many days when baking for coffee mornings held at the local Churches and /or village halls.
