Coronation Celebrations at Keech Hospice Care

The hospice local to me is Keech Hospice Care and is on the Luton, Central Bedfordshire border. On Tuesday last week the Children’s hospice hosted a fabulous and, might I say, very regal coronation party.

There was the usual; cupcakes and tea…..obviously. But there was an ice-cream van, a princess, a farm, balloon arches and ponies dressed as a King and Queen. A great selection of sensory experiences for the children and for the families to engage in. For me, the two ponies were a personal highlight. Their costumes were so good and it just tickled me. A loved posing with them…..although her Mum was scared and they kept heading for her!

The Ark were there with chickens and rabbits. A loved having a rabbit on her and was happy to pose for a photo. Classic A!

There was an amazing balloon arch, for photos, by swoosh events. Plus the fabulous ponies and so much more. I think it’s fair to say that everyone had a great time and the weather was actually dry for the party which was a bonus.

I also became a stalker and insisted, rather embarrassingly, of saying hello to the two fabulous Mums from the Instragm accounts: Emily in Motherland and Robins Wonderful World. I gushed all over them and made a right plonker of myself but they were kind and wonderful, as you’s expect, and coped well with me!

The voice of parents/carers in these situations is powerful and needed to ensure that people like myself maintain our focus on the feelings of people living this journey.
