Bourne House Nursing Home

🌼 This morning at Bourne House Nursing Home, our resident John was eager to check on his snowdrop bulbs, which he planted just a month ago. We set off for an early morning walk in the garden and ended up enjoying a delightful nature stroll!

Along the way, we discovered an old racket, waved through the leaves, and admired the lovely flowers still in bloom. Together, we created a beautiful nature picture that John proudly displayed in his room.

Some of our residents at Bourne House had a fantastic time making Halloween decorations, with a few of the ladies particularly enjoying crafting some Halloween-themed purses. We wove them together using two-toned coloured bits of paper, and although it was a bit time consuming, the ladies absolutely loved it! It sparked a lively conversation about fashion, the handbags they used to own, and even the idea of setting up our own shop to sell them for a bit of pocket money! We had so much fun and shared plenty of laughs. The ladies really enjoyed themselves. 👜👜👜
