The staff and residents at Paternoster House care home in Waltham Abbey had a busy day celebrating everything ‘Pancakes’ for Shrove Tuesday in Waltham Abbey.

Firstly, they had a fabulous time taking part in the Annual Waltham Abbey Town Partnership Pancake Race.

Paternoster Resident; Dot said she loves the tradition of entering the race and definitely had a flippin' great time as she crossed the finish line to win her category race, stating it was wonderful to receive the golden star cup, and certificate from Mayor of Waltham Abbey; Shane Yerrell.

The happy band of residents and staff loved every minute of their individual races, the laughter was non-stop as they ran through the town flipping away and trying not to drop their pancakes! To celebrate, they joined many of the local community for a well-deserved cup of tea and some sugary treats in the town’s bautiful artisan Crepe and Shake Cafe.

The homes’ non-participating residents and staff at Paternoster House didn't miss out on their fair share of pancakes as chef served a variety of delicious pancakes and yummy toppings throughout the day for everyone to decorate as they like them; with fresh fruit, berries, syrup and chocolate or the traditional squeezed lemon and sugar sprinkles.

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
