* Another artistic display.

* Putting in the bedding plants.

* An ice cream van calls to round off a great day in the sun.

Residents and staff at Llangollen Fechan care home have been busy preparing for our VE Day celebrations this Friday.

They have put together two poppy cascades utilising bottoms of plastic pop bottles, painting and lacquering them before fixing them onto wire mesh, along with residents messages, to make a very effective and artistic display for all to enjoy.

Residents have also created painted flower cones and put bedding plants in tubs and troughs ready for the big day.

To round off the fun yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) there was a visit from Mr Tee and his ice-cream van.  

Two of our care staff, Soffie-Ellen Lawrence and Ella Louise Thomas, won a key-worker competition and all staff and residents we were able to enjoy a delicious cold treat in the warm afternoon sun.
