On this dark and wet day after Christmas, hopefully the beautiful singing of the Thursford singers will make you feel festive again. Woodspring House went to see them at Cranmer House a few days ago.

Thursford singers and a visit from the donkeys
On Friday we were invited to Cranmer House to hear the Thursford singers perform songs from the famous show for us. They were incredible, a snip bit of their performance will be uploaded soon. We very much hope that they will come to Woodspring House next year. And then in the afternoon Karen and David brought in their adorable donkeys, Maisie and Choccy. They were popular with some and less so with others, fortunately they created little mess in the brand new orangery!

Residents Christmas Party!
Well what an evening we had on Sunday. The residents Christmas party took place in our brand new orangery and the added space made the whole event a joyous occasion. Everyone was up and dancing, the drink was flowing and the spread that the chefs made was incredible! There was pass the parcel and the raffle where we raised over £60 for the residents fund. Patsy Rose came and performed for us, which got everyone on the dance floor. As you'll see from the pictures everyone had a very merry time. Thank you to the staff, relatives and residents who came and made the night so special. Merry Christmas!

Flower ranging with Rita and Marjorie's birthday
Last week Rita, our gardener, came in to do flower ranging with the residents. It was a huge hit, and everyone who took part really enjoyed taking part. And the results were pretty impressive too! On the 13th of December was Marjorie's birthday, we got Jayne Martin in to perform for her, another success. Happy Birthday Marjorie!
