The Oaks Care Home in Newtown, Powys celebrated St David’s Day in style this week.

Staff put on a series of themed activities throughout the day, including daffodil arranging, biscuit making and patriotic face-painting and residents also made paper daffodil brooches and button-holes.

There was a special lunch menu with Welsh rarebit, followed by Welsh leg of lamb and Bara Brith and local ice-cream.
