Life at Wilsmere House Care Home
Beloved Author's Birthday
Residents and staff at Wilsmere House celebrated the 103rd birthday of cherished children’s author, Roald Dahl, on 13th September 2019, which also happens to be Roald Dahl's Day as well.
In remembrance of this great man’s life, the home hosted a number of activities in hopes that everyone could feel a little bit of that Roald Dahl magic. His school life left such an impact on him, which seemed to come out in his writing later on.
Roald Dahl’s works encompassed novels, short stories, poetry and screen writing, and are noted for their inventive and playful use of language. Dahl’s most famous works include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The BFG and Matilda and, collectively, his books have sold over 250 million copies worldwide.
Residents and a local poet Michael, who attended the event, said: “Today was lovely, joyous afternoon. This event brought our residents and the community together and shared many memories which left impressions on each ones imagination. Roald Dahl has proved that there is a little boy or girl in all of us bursting out to play that, he will never be forgotten.”
Lili Cocue General Manager at Wilsmere house, said: “I grew up reading Roald Dahl’s books, and I know that his stories are also close to the hearts of many people in this home. We had a lot of fun celebrating his birthday.”
