The Mountains

We held our annual Christmas party and the residents thoroughly enjoyed this, a massive thank you to Jay for the entertainment, the place was alive with fun and music, and to our hard working kitchen team who put on yet another wonderful spread.

There has been lots of fun and craft happening as we build towards Christmas here at The Mountains. We’ve made decorations, Christmas cards and our very own wreath!

We gave our residents a the true German Christmas Market experience! We set several stalls up, all selling various items that our residents could buy for their loved ones. We also plenty of cheese and German beer to sample!

We’ve celebrated lots of birthdays over the last few weeks and we have enjoyed many slices of birthday cake!

Our residents take the connect 4 battles very seriously

Here, our ladies are pictured busily completing the Welsh wordsearch that was in the last Mountains Peak newsletter. Rosa, Heather and Tahereh all completed the wordsearch correctly, and had lots of fun doing it!

We were able to take two of our gentlemen, John Bourne and Sidney Wood, out shopping for some new clothes. We all enjoyed a well deserved cuppa and cake afterwards!

We often play a few games to keep our minds active. Margaret Allen sorted out the shapes, Wyndham Perkins completed a puzzle that his wife sent him and Archie Gadd and Ann Thornton concentrated hard on a game of bingo!

We have opened our very own little shop here at The Mountains. Residents can come and have a browse at our shelves and buy any items that take their fancy! We have it fully stocked with books, toiletries and of course sweet treats!

One indoor activity that residents love is hitting a balloon around the room to each other. This game brings lots of smiles to any group. It also encourages stretching and concentration.
