It is Christmas evening and the
residents at Valerie Manor are going to be having a restful day today watching
White Christmas following the enjoyable week they have had and in preparation
for our Christmas Day tomorrow..... Well, that’s while we enjoy the
special home made Valerie Manor Christmas Cake that Maria has been preparing
over the past few weeks for the residents!
On Sunday 20th December
we all enjoyed having a mulled wine and a mince pie or two with our friends and
families at Valerie Manor. It was such a lovely occasion; I love to see the
residents with all of their families at this special time. We had a DVD of 2009
at Valerie Manor showing in the background along with Christmas music so that
the residents and their families could look back on what we had all done
together over the past year.
On Tuesday 22nd December
Reverend Challis delivered a wonderful traditional Christmas Services to the
residents and staff in our lounge. What a lovely service that the residents
enjoyed with members from Reverend Challis’s congregation. We were also joined
by the Reverend's wife and daughter. Although his daughter was very shy she managed to
sing us Away in a Manager with her daddy which was lovely to hear. Following
the service we enjoyed a coffee with some homemade Christmas biscuits from
Maria – they also went down a treat!Thank you very much to Reverend Challis for giving a truly memorable service for us all at Valerie Manor.
Merry Christmas to You All!
