the warm lounge never felt so cosy as it did today with frost on the ground and ice in the pond throughout the day. A lovely and lively morning socialising, keeping interested and busy.

We are so happy that after their own journeys Betty and Richard finally found each other as friends!

with a glass of Buck’s Fizz and a dining room full of friendly faces! We sang a few carols, raised a few glasses, pulled the crackers and then settled to a yummy Xmas lunch. Betty gave us the “queen’s speech” and apart from wishing all a good Xmas she said”Thank you for my Bird. I love him very much”Wonderful! Merry Xmas to you all

Our Xmas celebrations proper started with a 8 men trip to a wonderful carol service at the Holy Trinity Church. We are all looking forward to a very spacial Xmas day

Tonight Kat came with a small group of her choir. Our choir sang some favourite songs and then we listened to a fab performance. Joyce shouted ‘Bravo’ at the end and said ‘you are very talented’. We were so pleased that Bill decided to come out and listen to the performance. He liked it and joined with some of the songs our choir sang!
