OUR SUMMER FETE IS TOMORROW! 😎🌞
We can’t wait to welcome you all tomorrow! We will be in the garden/ground floor dining room and the ice cream van will be out front in the car park 🍦
We have stalls, teddy bear tombola, guess the name of the teddy, raffle and live music!
Unfortunately our good friend Mel has had to cancel due to illness but Vince will be now starting from 14:30!
Please remember it is CASH ONLY tomorrow 💵💵
And also remember to put your numberplate in if you park in our car park and to sign in and out in reception!
See you tomorrow!

A little insight into our week so far here at Barnes lodge 📸
On Monday morning we were joined by our good friends at Nexus School! Our residents loved chatting about their lives and asking the students questions while playing games and getting creative with some arts and crafts 🎨
Yesterday we had our church service with St Stephen’s church (there will be a separate post for this 👀🎤 so stay tuned!)
Then today, we started off the day with Bingo and then we took a quick trip to the shops to get some plants for our garden 🪴 before residents got competitive with some games this afternoon 🎲
And of course, our residents are nervously awaiting the first England match of the World Cup, come on England! ⚽️🏴
