The Foyer

Yesterday’s cooking session was an absolute treat! We whipped up a delicious Blueberry & Lemon Croissant Bake, warm, zesty, and bursting with juicy berries. Safe to say, there were no crumbs left behind!

But the real twist? While the oven was working its magic, we had a Rubik’s Cube showdown – and one of our crew solved it in just 42 seconds! Talk about multitasking talent! 🎉

Great food, great company, and some unexpected skills on display – we call that a win.

On the eve of last night, brave souls gathered 'round the table of destiny for a most noble purpose: to forge their characters and chart their quests in the ancient and sacred art of Dungeons & Dragons.

Quills were scribbled, dice were summoned, and many a tale was spun, of heroes, villains, and questionable moral alignments.

Thus, a grand adventure begins to stir in the realm...
The party is assembled. The fates are sealed. Snacks have been claimed in the name of glory.

Stay tuned, noble followers, for the campaign shall soon commence!

This Wednesday, we ditched the microwave meals and cooked up a storm, Chicken & Chorizo Jambalaya was on the menu, and let’s just say… it did not disappoint!
Packed with flavour, teamwork, and laughter, it was another great session bringing everyone together over good food.

Wednesday night was all about sweet treats and teamwork as we baked our very own jam or lemon cookies! We had a few hiccups along the way (because let’s be real, what’s baking without a little chaos?), but we powered through and made it work.

From sticky jam mishaps to dough that didn’t want to behave, we didn’t give up—and the results were so worth it. Every cookie came out looking delicious and full of homemade charm.

Big well done to everyone who got stuck in and helped, proof that even when things don’t go to plan, teamwork (and a bit of laughter) makes it all come together perfectly!

Don’t forget – our next cooking session is happening tomorrow (Wednesday) at 6PM!

We’ll be making thumbprint cookies – you can choose between jam or zesty lemon fillings 🍓🍋

It’s a great chance to relax, have fun, and learn a new recipe together. See you there!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our 25th Anniversary BBQ!

The sunshine showed up, the BBQ was sizzling, and the community spirit was stronger than ever. It was amazing to see so many residents get stuck in, helping to cook up a storm with hot dogs and burgers for everyone to enjoy.

Events like this remind us just how special our community is. Here’s to 25 years of memories—and many more to come!

On Wednesday we celebrated an incredible milestone — 25 years since Nikki started working at the Foyer, right from the very beginning!

Since day one, Nikki has been more than just a colleague — she’s been a constant source of support, kindness, and reliability. Her dedication to the team, the residents, and the Foyer itself is something truly special.

If she’s not busy chatting with a resident, offering her usual words of wisdom, you can bet she’s in her famous “office” (aka the shed), rummaging away and somehow always finding exactly what’s needed!

Nikki, thank you for being such a fantastic part of this place for so many years. We appreciate you more than words can say — here’s to you and everything you’ve done (and continue to do) for all of us!

Yesterday's cooking session was a huge success — and we’re still talking about that cheese sauce!

For many of our group, it was their first time making mac and cheese from scratch, and they absolutely nailed it. No lumps, no stress — just smooth, cheesy perfection.

It was fantastic to see everyone get stuck in, learn something new, and leave with a delicious dish (and a boost of kitchen confidence).

Big thanks to everyone who took part — we can’t wait for the next one!
