How wonderfully colourful are these pumpkins?They were painted this week for Halloween in The Croft NH.
Painting the pumpkins like this means that they will last longer as opposed to traditional carving of pumpkins. About 10 residents participated in the activity and many others enjoyed the banter and fun of getting into the spooky spirit!
A few more photos from when Leeson Park residents visited Áras an Uachtaráin and met with President Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina.
We now have a scarecrow to look after our animals in Dunlavin. Any suggestions for a name for him? He’ll be here to celebrate Halloween!
On Friday we had a very special visit from Nurses and Assistant Nurses from Iceland. Staff who work at a small Nursing Home on the west coast of Iceland in a little village called Grundarfjordur visited our homes in St. Pappins and Leeson Park. They are pictured here with staff from Leeson Park, who were delighted to receive a gift of a sensory blanket for our residents.
Residents from Leeson Park Nursing Home were among some lucky people who got to visit Áras an Uachtaráin recently for some afternoon tea. There they met with our President, Michael D. Higgins and his wife, Sabina. A lovely time was had by all 🙂
