On Saturday morning, young singers from the Gloucester Cathedral Junior Choir teamed up with our very own resident Prayer & Share Group to lead a joyful service for Candlemas, celebrating the sharing of light across generations.

It was the culmination of a series of intergenerational sessions organised by the Assistant Conductor at Gloucester Cathedral, Nia Llewelyn Jones, where children and residents joined together to make music and shape the service with one another.

Along the way, new friendships were formed and the experience brought joy to all involved.

A big thank you to Nia and to our very own Rachael Veitch for working so hard to bring this heartwarming intergenerational service to life.

We look forward to more intergenerational collaborations with the Cathedral in the near future...

Looks like we had some very unhappy elves, our guys at P-F Productions came to take our Xmas decorations down today and boy were our elves causing trouble (I’m so sorry, I hope you can forgive them) they wouldn’t let the decorations go without a fight, I tried to tell them it’s only temporary and they would be back before they know it, they left in a huff and now I can’t find any of the elves at all 😭

What kind of naughtiness is this (tut tut) clearly someone didn’t pay attention to the sign, now you’re in trouble 👮

Oh my goodness everyone, just when I thought our elves had left us (without even saying goodbye 😢) I saw this happening today. The dusting of snow we had this morning brought some of them out in the garden. They look like they’re having a lovely time, the babies went for a sleigh ride, our snowman played on a swing and one of them was even trying to help clear the path, what a lovely scene on a frosty morning 😍

We closed our 2025 programme of events last night in style with a wonderful New Year's Eve Party & Show!! A big thank you to everyone who has supported the programme throughout the year and to Patrick, Nicola and the team for co-ordinating such a rich and successful activity schedule.

A special word of thanks also to our INCREDIBLE volunteers who have been there every step of the way ensuring everything has run so smoothly. We could not have done it without you.

Happy New Year and well done Team ExtraCare St Oswald's Retirement Village!!

Onwards now to the 2026 programme which is already looking fantastic...
