🎄✨ Christmas Joy at Aspen Court! ✨🎄

What a festive weekend we’ve had! Our residents enjoyed a wonderful baking day, finishing off our Christmas cake – lovingly made months ago and fed with brandy ever since – by adding marzipan and fondant. 🎂 We also baked homemade mince pies (because Christmas just isn’t the same without them!) and paired them with a nice cup of tea. ☕🥧 And to top it off, we made and decorated gingerbread men! 🍪 A huge thank you to our Activities Assistant Kathy for organising this delightful baking session.

We were also treated to a beautiful Carol Service from the Buckland Singers, filling the home with festive cheer. Residents enjoyed warm mince pies and our famous apple cider – the true taste of Christmas! 🍎🎶

And the celebrations didn’t stop there! We welcomed Abacus Nursery for a Christmas party full of laughter and games, including Pin the Nose on Rudolph and the hilarious Coat Hanger Toss! Residents and staff joined in too – it was eventful and so much fun! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who made these moments so special. 💖

Festive fun continued and another wonderful Christmas Market to share- this time from Cedar Lodge 🎄✨

We were thrilled to welcome Tina, a resident from Aspen Court, who loved visiting our neighbouring home and picking up some Christmassy treasures for her bedroom.

A huge thank you to our amazing stallholders – Ruth, Emma, Kathy and Jessica – for sharing their beautiful handcrafted items and spreading so much joy to residents, staff and visitors across both homes. And a big thank you to Richard who organised and coordinated these Christmas Markets- these wouldn't have been possible without his efforts!

In fact, it went down so well we’ve already booked in for next year!

We had a Holly Jolly time at Aspen Court yesterday! 🎄✨

Our Christmas Market was full of festive cheer, thanks to our wonderful stall owners Emma, Kathy and Ruth who volunteered their time to bring beautiful Christmas merchandise for residents, staff and visitors to enjoy.

It was a magical morning with The Mayor and Mayoress of Taunton joining us, Andy playing Christmas carols on the trombone, and even a steam toy train delighting everyone as it circled the track! 🚂

Residents loved browsing the stalls, picking up Christmassy treasures for their rooms or gifts for loved ones – many said it brought back fond memories of markets from their hometowns. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who made this event so special!

🎄✨ Festive Fun at Aspen Court! ✨🎄

Our residents had a wonderful time playing a sensory Christmas game, ‘Guess What’s in the Box?’ Using their sense of touch, they explored festive surprises and even won some lovely prizes to keep!

Meanwhile, the staff joined in the merriment with a hilarious game of ‘Lick or Poke’- chocolate lollies in one hand, pens in the other, and quick reactions to the shout of “Lick or Poke!” It was such a joy to watch, and some of our residents couldn’t resist joining in too!

It’s moments like these that make the season so special – laughter, fun, and togetherness. ❤️
