Hatherleigh Nursing Home near Okehampton, Devon, was filled with the colours, flavours, and sounds of Wales as family members (residents) and team members came together to celebrate St David’s Day. Administrator Tamsin, with the help of family member Alice, carefully arranged daffodil centrepieces for the tables, while hand-crafted napkins, folded into delicate floral shapes, added an extra touch of charm. The dining room was transformed with a vibrant display of red, green, and white, proudly reflecting the colours of the Welsh flag.
No celebration would be complete without traditional Welsh food, and Chef Faye prepared a delicious menu featuring a hearty lamb cawl, a classic Welsh stew, and a comforting bread and butter pudding for dessert. As family members gathered to enjoy their meal, the Welsh Male Voice Choir played on the homes Alexa in the background, adding to the nostalgic and celebratory atmosphere.
The Devon nursing home’s celebration of St David’s Day was not just about the food, but about embracing diversity, sharing traditions, and creating a true sense of community and inclusion within the home.
