What a summer we are having! The weather was glorious on the day The Check House had their garden party. Thank you to everyone for making it such a happy and special day for everyone. There is always so much preparation work but it was really worth it to see the residents have such an enjoyable afternoon. Shirli and Dave led the singing and dancing, the activities team decorated the home and terrace beautifully and the chefs created some wonderful food. Tom also came back from his paternity leave with Danni his wife and proudly introduced baby Harrison to everyone.
