What a fun month November has been!
It started off with a blast! 🎆 Literally a fun fireworks evening with sparklers too, we were lucky with the weather, many of the residents wrapped up and joined us in the garden. For super they enjoyed hotdogs topped with onions and tomato sauce, mustard for the brave!
Kerry and Sue’s charming vocals were fantastic – they had us up on our feet, dancing and singing along to every song we requested. Sharon had us reminiscing about all things Scottish as we celebrated St Andrew’s Day. Neeps and haggis are under discussion for a Burns Night tasting session!
Our Haskins Garden Centre trip was a huge success. The Christmas lights brought joy to our faces and made the whole place feel like a winter wonderland. We wandered through glowing displays, admired the beautifully decorated trees, and soaked in the festive spirit that put smiles on all our faces.




We’re Excited for Christmas 🎄✨
We have so many wonderful events to look forward to this December, featuring an array of amazing singers, dancers, and entertainers. We’re especially excited to enjoy the Tickled Pink Christmas Spectacular show, along with the heart-warming sounds of the local Salvation Army brass band.
