We’ve had a taste for brains @ The Manor

Team work all morning!!! The cakes came together so well creating an extra special spooky treat.

(disclaimer… no-one was hurt during the making of the cakes!)

Pumpkin Picking @ Orway Porch Farm!

An afternoon pumpkin picking at Orway Porch Farm!
At a time in life when firsts are few and far between, we were thrilled to share a brand new experience with our residents. Their very first pumpkin picking trip! A beautiful autumn day with plenty of pumpkins to choose from! Memories made and smiles all around. But who actually knew pumpkins came in so many shapes, sizes and colour!? Our residents were amazed at the variety on offer – surprises around every corner! 

Marbles on a Mission!’



Today we took a trip to ‘The House of Marbles’; because who needs Netflix when you have marble runs. Everyone was starstruck and that beautiful marbles and how different they could all be. Whilst taking a stroll around of course we couldn’t resist a trip to the shop. Winnie even made a little purchase.

Spooky Season is Creeping in @ The Manor

Nothing is stopping us from getting a head start on the Halloween fun! Some might say it’s a bit early, but we say it’s never too soon to have a spook-tacular time! From crafty creations to spooky decorations popping up around The Manor, it’s clear we’re ready for a fang-tastic October time.



Dining Delight at Westbank


Our residents have truly enjoyed the wonderful meals and the chance to get out and about at Westbank the last month. We’ve been making it a special tradition to visit every other week, not only to enjoy the tasty food but also to connect with the local community through quizzes and games. Here is Kay and I at Westbank last week – Roast chicken dinner followed by a quiz and a word search!

Michael’s Visit Home to the Farm






Michael has enjoyed another trip home to visit Wendy and he was delighted to show us his Land Rover.

Wimbledon Celebrations

 



Chef Pati wanted to go all out for the ‘Wimbledon Celebrations’ and was serving up Eton mess and zero stress – the real queen of sweet treats at The Manor!
We did however have to serve up a warning for some of our residents- Warning! Eton mess cakes may cause uncontrollable smiling and spontaneous whipped cream mustaches.

Mo’s Birthday Celebration’s!


For Mo’s birthday not only did she want to celebrate with everyone but she had decided it was her 21st birthday again. It was so lovely not only to see her being cheeky and smiling with all the other residents but they got involved with the 21st again theme too.


The Manor Care Home Open Day – 20th June 2025

Memorable Moments at The Manor – August Highlights

August brought plenty of memorable moments to The Manor! We started the month with an uplifting afternoon of singing and dancing, thanks to the talented Cameron. The residents had a wonderful time grooving to the music, singing along, and enjoying the lively atmosphere.








For a more tranquil experience, we also set aside time to relax with some peaceful knitting sessions. Residents came together to enjoy the soothing activity, sharing stories while working on their knitting projects.


It was a month filled with joy, creativity, and relaxation, and we can’t wait for more delightful moments in the coming months!
