Centenarian Celebration at The Orchards
The Orchards Care Home in Crewkerne was filled with joy and celebration as residents and staff came together to honor a remarkable milestone—the 100th birthday of our beloved resident, Eva. The day was marked with an array of festivities, including a sumptuous feast, a beautifully crafted birthday cake, and a special musical performance by the Phoenix Brass Band. It was truly an unforgettable day of celebration, love, and music.
The festivities began with a delightful afternoon tea, where friends and family gathered to enjoy a variety of delicious treats. The centerpiece of the celebration was a stunning birthday cake, specially designed to mark Eva's century of life. The day was made even more special with a live performance by the Phoenix Brass Band, whose music filled the home with a sense of joy and nostalgia, bringing smiles to everyone in attendance.
In addition to the musical festivities, Eva was thrilled to receive a bright and colorful birthday card from the children of Jigsaw Nursery. The thoughtful gesture added a vibrant touch to the day’s celebrations, reflecting the warmth and community spirit that surrounds Eva at The Orchards.
Reflecting on her 100 years, Eva shared the secret to her longevity: a good, healthy diet and a lifelong passion for the arts. An avid artist, Eva takes great pride in her artwork and believes that her love of drawing has played a key role in keeping her mind sharp and youthful.
The Orchards is proud to have been part of Eva’s incredible journey and is grateful to everyone who made this milestone celebration so special. Here’s to many more happy and healthy years ahead for Eva!
