STAFF and residents at a Wirral care home welcomed in the Year of the Dragon with a day of celebrations and activities.
Inspired by Chinese culture and traditions, Caldy Manor in Caldy was decorated with hanging red lanterns and handmade dragons. Residents learnt all about the traditions and superstitions of Chinese New Year.
Chef Dave cooked up an oriental feast for lunch and residents enjoyed the delicious food washed down with pots of Chinese tea.
Hannah Roberts, general manager of Caldy Manor said: "We have had a brilliant day, the home looks absolutely wonderful decorated all in red and we all had such fun finding out what animal we are, the associated traits and reading each other’s horoscopes.
"The residents loved watching videos of traditional lion and dragon dances too."
David a resident at Caldy Manor said: "I love seeing the dining room all dressed up for the occasion.
"The food was wonderful and I enjoyed using chopsticks, I haven’t used them for years".
