We have a new cook at Valerie Manor and the residents are being spoilt! Maria cooks for us three days a week and the residents are now having homemade biscuits for coffee, and cakes for afternoon tea! As you know we have several themed days and this week we decorated the dining room and enjoyed Mexican Independence Day (although the residents preferred a roast dinner instead of Chilli!). Maria made a lovely cake for them all and their visitors to enjoy continuing with the theme! I’m sure we will all be putting weight on now – the smell of cakes baking sets everyone’s appetites off!
