We can always find a good excuse for a party at The Chiswick Nursing Centre and a post-Valentine’s celebration was just the job.
There was vintage music provided by ‘Lipstick on Your Collar’ who sang everything from Elvis to Abba, finishing up with ‘Sweet Caroline’. The finale had all of us with our hands in the air – and one resident dancing, as she had done throughout the entire performance.
Everyone was impressed by the singer, not only for her voice and energy, but because she had taken the trouble to go round and personally greet every resident before she started singing.
Mocktails, complete with paper parasols, added to the party atmosphere and there were love heart sweets for everyone to enjoy, which they certainly did!.
Valentine’s Day itself had not gone unobserved. Cards circulated and residents took part in a cake decorating session where cupcakes were suitably decorated with hearts and a lot of love.
