Singer Keely Cook
To kick off our Platinum Jubilee week here at Hengist Field Care Home, we invited singer Keely Cook to our Home to sing for our residents.
She put on a wonderful show and sang a selection of fantastic songs including Pretty Woman, Twist and Shout, Great Balls of Fire, Stupid Cupid, Hound Dog and many more classics.
Everyone had such a great time singing along, waving their arms and clapping to the music.
An absolutely fantastic afternoon – thank you Keely!

Nesting blue tits
Here at Hengist Field we have been keeping an eye on some nesting blue tits in our garden.
The adult birds built the nest and laid, we think, five or six eggs – so we have been watching them since they hatched, grow into chicks and be constantly fed by their hardworking parents.
We managed to get a picture of them on Saturday, then by Monday they have all flown the nest!
It’s amazing how quickly the babies grew from tiny featherless chicks, to how they are in the picture – all within approximately five weeks. How lovely!
We are looking forward to them returning next year.
