The residents started the day by opening all their lovely presents that they had received. Later in the morning they all came together for a sherry reception in the library. Afterwards we all enjoyed a delicious Christmas Day lunch.

Some of the staff at Bushell House performed their own version of the classic Pantomime Cinderella for the residents. There was plenty of participation from the audience and lots of laughter. We all had a brilliant time. The residents then enjoyed a buffet tea prepared by our chef. Well done to everyone involved.

Some photos of the lovely Christmas decorations that the residents made previously to decorate the staircase.

Some of our residents busy making mince pies this afternoon for everyone. They were delicious and we look forward to you making more.

A momentous day for Bushell House. Our first staff member and first resident had their Covid-19 vaccine yesterday.

Getting into the Christmas spirit. Our residents painting decorations and making Christmas flowers today.

Our residents attending a Service of Remembrance together with some of the Trustees who joined in the service via zoom.

Some of our residents making poppies to decorate the house. They did a fantastic job and it was lovely to see them around the house.

We had so much fun at our last word and memory games that we just had to do it again. It was just as challenging and there was lots of laughter.

Poetry Reading Afternoon. We took it in turns this afternoon to read our favourite poems to each other, including those by Walter de la Mare, Rudyard Kipling Roald Dahl and Hilaire Belloc. Some made us reminisce and others made us laugh; we enjoyed all of them.
