The Wingfield are delighted to be welcoming the foundation year pupils from St John's Catholic Primary School this week for their community week. As our neighbours we are always so pleased when they are able to visit our residents. The children sat colouring with residents in our courtyard and left their colourful pictures for residents to enjoy.
Alpaca Experience
The Wingfield had some very special visitors today, Sandy and Guinness gorgeous alpacas from Alpaca Adventures, they happily walked around both homes, meeting residents in the lounges and in their rooms. Sandy and Guinness were gentle yet had real character and everyone greatly enjoyed meeting them.

Joan and Frank Celebrate 70 Years of Marriage
It is always a privilege to share the lives of our residents and we love having couples at The Wingfield. Today was one couples very special day, Joan and Frank Bray celebrated 70 Years of marriage. Married in Shropshire on 16th May 1953, the couple first met aged 10 and 11 when they had been evacuated from London during the war. This friendship led to love. Surrounded by family including their two sons Michael and Terry the activities team arranged for Joan and Frank's favourite singer Shannon Kitchen to perform. Shannon sang a wonderful selection of classic songs including "I can't help falling in love with you" and all the residents greatly enjoyed singing along. Our fabulous Senior Carer Anette danced along and got everyone involved. The celebrations continued with a cake and buffet made by The Wingfield's hospitality team as well as a stunning cake made by the couple's daughter in law. The residents were planning when they would have each cake!
Joan and Frank received their last congratulatory card from HM Queen Elizabeth and now for their 70th from HM King Charles and Queen Camilla. Congratulations Joan and Frank.
