🌍✨ Care Home Open Week – Day 3 ✨🌍

Today, we embarked on an exciting journey across the world without ever leaving our care home! As part of Day 3 of Care Home Open Week, we explored a variety of cultures, traditions, and cuisines from different corners of the globe.

Residents and staff enjoyed tasting delicious snacks from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and beyond, discovering new flavours and learning about the unique customs behind them. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate diversity and broaden our understanding of the world around us.

One of the highlights of the day was watching a traditional Nigerian wedding, where we marvelled at the vibrant colours, joyful celebrations, and stunning dressings. We were also delighted to try on traditional beaded bodypiece from the Edo people of Southern Nigeria, as well as beautiful beaded neckpiece by the Maasai people of Kenya.

The day was filled with laughter, learning, conversation, and cultural appreciation. It was wonderful to see everyone embracing new experiences and sharing in the rich traditions that make our world so diverse and colourful.

A truly memorable day for all! 🌎❤️

🏡📖 Care Home Open Week Milton Ernest Hall Care Home – Discovering the History of Milton Ernest Hall 📖🏡

As part of our first day of Care Home Open Week, we are enjoying a range of exciting activities, and today we took a step back in time to explore the fascinating history of our home and the local area.

Residents spent the afternoon researching the rich heritage of Milton Ernest Hall, learning how the hall was built between 1853 and 1858 by wealthy merchant Benjamin Helps Starey. The hall was designed by renowned architect William Butterfield in the striking Gothic Revival style, featuring steep roofs and beautiful wooden and stone architectural details that can still be admired today.

Along the way, we uncovered some remarkable facts about the hall's past:
✨ The hall was once home to two sons of George V.
✨ During the Second World War, it served as a base for the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
✨ The hall is famously associated with Glenn Miller, who stayed here before departing from RAF Twinwood Farm.
✨ In 1944, the hall became home to the United States Eighth Air Force Service Command, supporting American operations across Britain.
✨ We also learned about the Land Girls of Milton Ernest Village, with accommodation provided for around 40 women working to support the war effort.

The session sparked plenty of memories and conversation, including Peter sharing that he once camped on the grounds as a Boy Scout! ⛺😊

It was wonderful to reflect on the incredible stories connected to our home and to appreciate the important role Milton Ernest Hall has played throughout history.
