We had a smoothie making afternoon in honour of the International Smoothie Making Day, where we made a non-alcoholic pina colada. This coconut-based smoothie scored eight out of ten with our lovely residents. Then we made a 'green machine' smoothie, made principally from spinach, that scored even better, with it being awarded a mark of nine. A disappointing third entry was the 'very berry' smoothie because there were just too many seeds in it for our residents' tastes. The overall winner, however, was a tropical creation made from prunes. Our lovely residents were not particularly looking forward to it because of the childhood association of having prunes, but it was delightful and it scored full marks from our discerning tasting panel. Everyone really enjoyed the afternoon.
