A festive Monday at Farnham Mill with all our favourite things. In the afternoon we enjoyed a Christmassy quiz with our lovely volunteer, some artistic candle colouring, a very wordy game of scrabble and of course tea and cake.
Tuesday morning, for Christmas around the world, our residents took part in ‘yarn wrapped yule goats’ which is a tradition from eastern Europe to mark the beginning of advent.
Keeping the goat theme here at Farnham Mill, this morning we had a visit from two lovely pygmy goats which our residents always enjoy.
In the afternoon Wendy Williams kindly offered to sing for our residents, which all of them enjoyed.
Simply amazing! Wednesday morning, we were entertained by the wonderful voices of the Edgeborough School Choir.
We were moved by the sweetness of their singing and their courage to sing solos for us. We were so thrilled to welcome the boys and girls to Farnham Mill and delighted to have made new friends.
Thank you to you all for making our morning so special and we wish you all wonderful Christmas with your families.
