Christmas is well and truly on its way ๐Ÿ˜€ Over the last week we have been in full Christmas mode, which is wonderful!
Last Friday night, the afternoon care shift, and our wonderful volunteer Janette, accompanied residents to Market Square to enjoy the Lions Club Comminity Carols.
Yesterday we received a visit from the delightful children at Mortlake Kindergarten, who performed a lovely selection of Christmas Carols out on the lawn. Pictured are the residents enjoying the concert, and the lovely weather yesterday morning.
