A very glittery, wonderfully messy craft afternoon. ✨ We painted cardboard Christmas shapes to make bunting out of when it’s dry. I love our crafting afternoons - we embrace feeling joyfully childlike together. ❤️🎄

What a roaring success yesterday’s Strictly evening was!! We had lots of dancing, delicious food, disco lights, glitter galore - and Chris even treated us to 3 outfit changes. 💃🏼

Just look at this stunning disco ball cake made by Kristy! Incredible. 🪩 (tasted incredible too!)

Stay tuned - we have some videos to come of the couples dances and entrances that were even scored by a panel of judges. 😱❤️

Too early for Christmas music? We don’t think so! 🎄✨

Yesterday some of our residents spent the afternoon painting their Christmas decorations for the tree - all while listening to festive tunes and having a lovely time together. ❤️

🌺 Remembrance Day at Court House 🌺
Today we marked Remembrance Day together at Court House. This morning we held a special Communion service with a member of the team from St Andrew’s Church, and this afternoon Kristy treated everyone to some lovely poppy cupcakes for afternoon tea. We also watched Sunday’s service from the Cenotaph on television, and everyone wore their poppies with pride.
We had Shireen’s lovely poppy creation on display as we always do

We will remember them. 🌺

Court House is stepping out for Children in Need! 💛

Our very own Chris will be representing Court House Retirement Home tomorrow morning — taking part in the BBC Local Radio Three-Legged Walk alongside BBC Somerset’s Simon Parkin!

They’ll be tethered together from 10:15 to 11:15am in Yeovil, helping BBC teams across the country cover 1,000 miles for Children in Need. 👏

It’s all for such a fantastic cause supporting children and young people — and we’ll be cheering them on from Cheddar! 🎉

This is a *big* challenge - but it’s for such a good cause 💛
We’re doing a three-legged walk for BBC Children in Need, joining BBC radio teams across the UK as we attempt to cover A THOUSAND MILES. That’s about 25 miles each!

Simon and Mel will be pounding the pavements of Yeovil and Bridgwater - give them a cheer if you spot them 👏
