We’ve been busily crafting away this afternoon, creating festive Christmas cards for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice. Each card was made with the hope of bringing a bit of brightness and cheer to the children who will receive them.

A small gesture, but one made with lots of love, care, and Christmas spirit. 🎄❤️

🍂 A Lovely Autumn Outing for Mike! 🍰☕

Yesterday, Mike enjoyed a wonderful stroll to the local shop, taking in all the beauty of the autumn weather. He even popped into the bakery for a little treat! After a relaxing walk back to Alex Wood House, he settled in with a delicious cake and a warm coffee.

We love seeing our residents enjoying the simple pleasures of the season — well done, Mike! 🧡

This afternoon we were treated to a truly delightful performance by the wonderful Chris & Liz.

Their music filled the room with warmth and joy, from the familiar songs that brought back fond memories to the Christmas carols that had everyone singing along with big smiles. Their energy was infectious, and they created such a lovely atmosphere for all who attended. It was one of those moments that reminded us how special live music can be—bringing people together, lifting spirits, and adding a little extra sparkle to the season.

We’re so grateful to Chris & Liz for sharing their talent and making our afternoon so memorable.
