Residents at Kingsland House Care Home in Shoreham celebrated Mother’s Day with a high tea – with the resident mothers surrounded by their children.

Head chef David Cripps laid on a beautiful spread along with constant pots of tea being drunk from china cups and saucers, donated by the residents themselves, along with sherry from sherry glasses also donated.

Lead activities coordinator Donna Guyver said: “We’ve all had a really lovely afternoon. It has been so good to see family members who were able to visit in person and to have video calls with those who are further away.
