Wendy’s 95th Birthday

11 August 2026

There was plenty to celebrate at Bourne View as resident Wendy Barnes marked her 95th birthday surrounded by friends, Companions and colleagues.

Following lunch, everyone surprised Wendy with a special rendition of Happy Birthday, before presenting her with a beautiful handmade Victoria sponge cake. Created by the kitchen team and decorated with flowers freshly picked from the garden, the cake was admired by Wendy for its beautiful detail.

In a lovely gesture, Wendy decided to save the cake for afternoon tea so that everyone at Bourne View could share in her birthday celebrations.

“It was certainly a memorable birthday,” Wendy said. “Thank you to everyone who made it special.”
