Fish ‘n’ Chips Friday!

Fascinators adorned heads, and the races were broadcasted on the big screen, adding to the ambiance of the event. Each resident received a golden ticket containing a lucky dip horse, and horseshoes were beautifully decorated. To add to the joy, fresh scones with jam and cream were savored. It was a splendid afternoon enjoyed by residents and their visitors, creating treasured memories. Today, we revealed the winning households from the golden tickets: Rosie’s Garden and Dots Cottage.

A Throwback in Time

Tuesday was no ordinary day at St Georges Nursing Home—it was a truly terrific day filled with activities and engagement. One of the highlights was a special visit from Weston Museum, where residents were transported down memory lane with an array of nostalgic items.

The museum brought a treasure trove of reminiscing artifacts, ranging from childhood toys to mementos from bygone holidays. Punch and Judy puppets, wooden yo-yos, travel irons, vintage teddies, books, holiday souvenirs, and old postcards were just a few of the fascinating items that sparked reminiscences and stories. The simplicity of a yo-yo brought immense joy and evoked cherished memories.
