🌞 As we head into another week of sunny weather, we’re reminiscing about our amazing BBQ day! 🌭🎉

The sun was shining bright, and our residents sported their favorite hats while enjoying delightful tunes from the talented Justin, who played some oldie but goodie songs on his guitar. 🎶

After the music, we all gathered in the garden for a delicious BBQ feast that perfectly matched the beautiful weather! 🍔🥗

A special highlight was having a visit from our lovely Mayor, who enjoyed chatting with our residents. It was a day filled with laughter, good food, and great company! 🤗

Stay tuned for more fun events coming up!

Residents had a great time at our fun Fish & Chips Seaside Day! 🏖️

We indulged in delicious fish and chips from our local favourite - truly a gem that everyone raves about! We decorated the garden with colourful bunting, beach balls, and shells, creating the perfect beach atmosphere! 🏖️

For dessert, we got creative by serving it in buckets and spades, tying everything together just right. With the sun shining and a cool breeze blowing, it felt like a mini beach getaway, and everyone had a great day! ☀️

☕✨ A lovely morning out at Westlands! ✨☕

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful trip to Westlands Yeovil for their coffee morning, giving everyone the chance to relax, chat, and enjoy a change of scenery.

Pat and Joan both said they had a wonderful time and really appreciated getting out and enjoying a different environment. It's amazing how a simple outing can brighten the day and create such lovely memories.

It was also a fantastic surprise to spot a framed photograph on the wall featuring some of our residents and staff! It brought plenty of smiles and made the visit even more special. 💙

We were delighted to be invited as one of the Yeovil Town FC 's proud sponsors to enjoy a fantastic matchday experience! ⚽💙

The day included watching the game, a tour of the grounds, a lovely lunch, and the opportunity to meet some of the club's members. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

One of the highlights was getting to see the brand-new season's football kit. Our residents, Terry and Mike, especially loved this, as they were both dedicated season ticket holders. It brought back so many happy memories and sparked some wonderful conversations about the team they have supported over the years.

A huge thank you to everyone at the club for making us feel so welcome. We had an amazing day and truly appreciated your hospitality!

🌸🧺 Celebrating community, connection and all things blooming! 🌿

Last week, two of our residents enjoyed a wonderful Yeovil in Bloom Community Picnic at Yeovil Country Park, celebrating the judging day for this year’s competition.

We were delighted to support Cookson's Court’s entry into Yeovil in Bloom and loved spending time with members of the community, sharing stories, laughter and a lovely afternoon together.

The event was made even more special with the attendance of the Mayor, MP Adam Dance, and a judge from South West in Bloom. It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the hard work, creativity and community spirit that makes Yeovil such a wonderful place.

We were so proud to be part of this special occasion and look forward to continuing to support local events that bring generations and communities together. 🌺💚

😂☀️ Laughter really is the best medicine!

Yesterday, we made the most of the sunshine with an afternoon of garden games, including the hilarious Granny Pants Game! 🩲🎾

Our staff bravely donned the oversized granny pants while residents put their aim to the test, throwing balls and seeing how many they could catch. There were plenty of cheers, lots of friendly competition and endless laughter all around.

To make things even funnier, our Manager joined in too, much to everyone's delight! Seeing everyone laughing together and sharing such joyful moments made for a truly memorable afternoon.

Days like these remind us that it's the simple things—fun, laughter and spending time together—that create the happiest memories. 💚

We had a truly special visit here at Cookson’s Court with our birds of prey experience 🦉✨

Three beautiful owls came to visit us, giving residents the chance to see them up close and even feel just how soft their feathers are – a wonderful sensory moment for everyone 💛

It was a lovely day filled with smiles, curiosity and amazement, and such a joy to share something so unique together.
