Today’s Christmas memory takes us back to the kitchen, and to a Christmas cake that’s never been matched 🍰

Our resident Pamela remembers baking with her mum during the war, saving ingredients for months because everything was rationed.

The result? A Christmas cake so good that nothing has ever quite compared 🎄❤️

Not every Christmas was spent at home…

In today’s memory, our resident Judith recalls visiting the children’s ward with her father, watching nurses and children brighten up as Santa arrived not on a sleigh, but on a hospital trolley! 🎅

A wonderful story reminding us that Christmas joy can be found anywhere 🎄❤️
