Cheaney Court has welcomed a very special new resident: Johnny Walnut, our hand-crafted 6-foot nutcracker! Created with care, creativity, and a lot of teamwork, Johnny now stands proudly at the entrance to greet everyone who comes through our doors.
Residents and staff alike have enjoyed watching him come to life — from his first coat of paint to his final proud stance.
Be sure to stop by, say hello, and snap a photo with Johnny Walnut next time you visit Cheaney Court. He’s already become a beloved addition to our Christmas celebrations!

As the tree lights shine, everything feels wrapped in comfort and memories. It’s more than decorations… it’s a reminder that this is a place filled with love, comfort and happiness.

Over the past few days, we’ve been busy creating our very own giant advent calendar—one that brings a touch of magic and excitement to everyone who sees it. Each day, our residents will get to open a new door and discover a beautiful festive picture waiting inside. Today, we had the joy of revealing Day 2 (I forgot to take a picture of day 1) 🤭 the smiles it brought made all the hard work more than worth it.

We had such a lovely church service today, where we gathered together to sing Christmas carols and reflect on the story of Mary, Joseph, and the Nativity. It was a meaningful time of fellowship, joy, and remembrance as we shared in the spirit of the season.
A heartfelt thank-you to St Giles for the beautiful cards and delicious chocolates. Your kindness and generosity brought so many smiles, and we truly appreciate the thought and care you put into making our residents feel special. Your support means more than you know.

This afternoon we visited St Giles Church for the Christmas tree festival, and it was magical! We spotted our own tree and looked at all the others. All the displays were bright and beautiful, and the residents absolutely loved every moment. 🎄✨

Our entry for this year’s Christmas Tree Festival is “Tree Rex,” a playful twist guaranteed to bring a smile. Standing among the other trees, Tree Rex is decked out in dino-themed decorations, a touch of greenery that feels both prehistoric and joyful. Whether you’re a dinosaur enthusiast or simply enjoy a good holiday laugh, Tree Rex is ready to roar in some Christmas cheer!
A special thank you to little Sonny for lending us his treasured dinosaurs. 🦖🦕🎄

Residents enjoyed a wonderful National Bread Making Day, taking part in every step of the process—from mixing and kneading the dough to letting it prove. Spending time in the fresh air and sunny weather made the experience even more special as everyone relaxed together while the dough slowly rose. Later we baked our own rolls, and the best part of the day was sitting down to taste the freshly made bread we had created ourselves. It was a great, hands-on activity that brought smiles, conversation, and a real sense of accomplishment.
