It is that time again to reflect and we have now produced our 2025 Poppy Appeal/Remembrance Day window display.The past few years we have received some lovely comments, non-more-so as we were given kind permission to feature one of our fallen heroes, the late Rob McNeill, once again.We featured images of his funeral that we carried out during some strict Covid rules however we managed to give him a military send-off that he deserved.The family of Rob have again allowed us to feature him this year and we are very honoured and thank full. Our hearts go out to you all and we will be thinking of you and do not forget to remember as this keeps the memories alive to share, or keep for ourselves:

Through conversation.
We must talk.
Through tears.
We need to cry.
Through laughter.
Never stop smiling.
Through photos.
A picture can say a thousand words.

And most of all through love.
We grieve because we love.

“We will remember”

Greetings to you all this Festive month.
We have pleasure in notifying you that our Tree of Remembrance is now up in our reception area. Please feel free to pop in and write on a memory star to hang on the tree for your loved ones.
You will also find our Nativity display which has always been a great addition.
This year marks our second full window display for Christmas. We decided to keep the theme of a Winter Wonderland and hopefully this will be well received. It will highlight moments where we can just transport us away allowing us to treasure special memories for each and all. We also decided to add a poignant feature to the window relating Angel feathers and their meeaning.
Christmas will always be a joyful and celebrated time during good times and bad. If it is your first Christmas without a loved one to share it with, do not despair. Recall the great memories of Christmases past and begin to create new memories with family and friends. Tears may be shed, hugs maybe in demand and laughter is permitted, Christmas will always be Christmas, just a little bit different. As time passes it will be a little easier.
With all good wishes from us all here.
Adrian, Natalie, Ian and Vicky
