When the sun finally began to shine this week, residents from our St Catherine’s Nursing Home couldn’t wait to take in a bit of basking in their courtyard garden – and their time was made even more special with a little taste of luxury, too.
Declaring their very own chocolate day, everyone sampled a selection of white, dark or milk chocolate, stylishly served from a tiered plate, and juicy strawberries that they could dip in melted chocolate, too.
The pleasant morning event was wrapped up with uplifting songs and hymns before plans were made for a ‘baking with chocolate’ session in the afternoon.
After lunch, our residents reconvened in the spacious lounge where they thoroughly enjoyed exploring their creative side, making delicious white chocolate crispy cakes beautifully decorated with chocolate hearts and ‘hundreds and thousands’.
“We’ve had a very luxurious day,” said St Catherine’s Activity Co-ordinator, Sarah Avery. “Everyone has felt properly pampered – and well deserved it was, too!”
