Braeburn Lodge

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday making rice crispy cakes, decorating Easter bonnets and having a jolly time! We also had a visit from the Easter Bunny himself!

We took advantage of the sunnier days we’ve been having and decided to have a little mooch in the garden. We checked on the duck pond and to see how our fruit was growing. We then had a well deserved break in the sunshine, with a little visit from Romeo!

All our wonderful ladies received some beautiful flowers, cards and presents on Mother’s Day from their loved ones. One resident even received a beautiful hand-knitted blanket, which she was thrilled with! For lunch we tucked in to a delicious afternoon tea.

On Sunday, Delia turned 90!!!!! Our queen is 90 years old!!! She requested Mac Donald’s for tea and that’s exactly what we did! Amidst her tears of joy she managed to hold it together for the food. Thank you so much to our new member of staff Jackie for the beautiful birthday cake. Hope you…

It’s Valentine’s Day.. it’s not the Valentine’s Day we planned, but we will have a big celebration together when we can. Yasemin bought in some roses for all staff working today and for each of the residents. It was lovely to see so many smiles. A huge thank you to our brilliant staff for keeping…

Today some of our staff and residents walked 4 laps up and down the garden, in honour of Captain Sir Tom Moore. They did wonderfully and were very proud of themselves! May you rest peacefully you wonderful man, from all of us at Braeburn, we salute you!

When we can’t go out for afternoon tea, we make the afternoon tea come to us! We recently received a beautiful china tea set for us to use at Braeburn. A fewtimes a month, we go all out and enjoy a traditional afternoon tea, with tea, cake and scones. It really does bring a lot…

To celebrate Burn’s Night, we had a traditional lunch, with all the trimmings. We even had Bill playing the bagpipes whilst we tucked in. Bill played outside the dining room in the grounds, we heard him loud and clear with the windows open!!!

When we saw the snow fall in our beautiful garden, our residents couldn’t wait to get out and explore. We wrapped up warm and went for a little walk around the garden, it looked so wonderful!

Braeburn welcomed little frenchy puppy Romeo today. Yasemin is sharing him with the home and he definitely passed his first meet and greet! Safe to say everyone is very excited for him to begin next week. He was SO gentle and loving, it was so beautiful to watch!
