Residents and staff at Fountains Care Home ecently took part in activities based around the ‘Ides of March.’ Although traditionally this mid-March occasion was an excuse for a celebration, thanks to William Shakespeare the date is now more commonly known as a reference to the assassination of Julius Caesar.
To mark the occasion, our residents enjoyed a fascinating documentary on Ancient Rome. This led to a pre-lunch discussion on how different life would have been back then. During the afternoon everyone feasted on Roman dishes and lived like the emperors themselves.✨
Our kitchen team created a superb spread of cheeses, fruits and nuts, dates, yogurts and apples drizzled with honey ??. And of course, the feasting was washed down with a glass of wine for everyone?. Residents very much enjoyed sampling a Roman banquet and discovering how life was lived two thousand years ago… Great food, fine wine and good company – perhaps life back then wasn’t so different. ?
