Activities at Upton Bay Care Home

Upton Bay had the pleasure of hosting the Men Shed community at our Networking Breakfast. It was a delightful morning filled with camaraderie, connection, and inspiring conversations.

The Men Shed community, known for their dedication to fostering friendship, support, and learning amongst men of all ages, brought a vibrant energy to the event. We were honoured to have them join us and share their stories, experiences, and wisdom.

Alain's soup, prepared with great care, received high praise from many attendees who marvelled at its delightful flavours. The cheese and biscuits, as well as the traditional shortbread, were a hit with everyone, perfectly complementing the evening's festivities. These delectable treats were enjoyed alongside glasses of wine and, of course, a wee dram to honour the Scottish tradition.

The atmosphere was further elevated by Simon's captivating piano performance, which captivated the audience and set a joyful tone for the evening. Even I couldn't resist joining in with some singing, adding to the merriment.

A Fantastic Afternoon Supporting Castle Players and Enjoying Dick Whittington and his Cat Pantomime.

Upton Bay celebrated Winnie the Pooh Day with our residents and some very special guests. Thirteen preschool children from Muddy Boots joined us for a delightful intergenerational gathering, creating cherished memories for all involved.

The day began with the residents and children coming together to watch a short Winnie the Pooh story. The joy and excitement in the room were palpable as everyone immersed themselves in the enchanting tales of the lovable bear and his friends. The shared laughter and smiles bridged the generational gap, creating a beautiful sense of connection and unity.
