Summer get-togethers don’t come much better than the annual Strawberry Tea event at our St Catherine’s Nursing Home in Newcastle.
Our residents welcomed family and friends to the packed day of art, entertainment, fun and refreshments which gives everyone the chance to get together, relax and enjoy each other’s company.
An exhibition of art in action saw our creative residents making striking pictures in keeping with the ‘strawberry’ theme and the home’s corridors had been transformed into a mini art gallery to showcase their completed work.
Afternoon tea featured a delicious assortment of strawberry treats – from classic strawberry tarts to strawberry-based mocktails – which invited lots of positive comments and happy conversation.
After sharing fun and anticipation at the bottle tombola, it was time to unwind with a musical performance by singer, Christine Rosemond to bring the day to an end.
Operations Manager, Lesley Oliver said, “Our home was buzzing with activity and conversation and everyone had a marvellous time. The event is one of the highlights of our year and gives our residents the opportunity to proudly show off their talents and spend some quality time with visitors and fellow residents.”
