Windmill House Christmas Fayre success

Windmill House residential care home in Wymondham, Norfolk, had such a wonderful Christmas Fayre on Saturday 8 December.

There was a wonderful Christmas atmosphere with gentle Christmas music performed by the Bay River Jazz Band. Mulled wine filled the air with smells of cinnamon and other heady Christmas spices, hot chocolate was served with marsh mallows and there was a sprinkling of Christmas outfits including elves, gingerbread suits and Christmas jumpers, even worn by Lily the sausage dog!

Father Christmas took a break from his busy schedule to pay everyone at Windmill House a visit, bringing lots of laughter and Christmas cheer to our residents.

The profession team at Windmill House would like to thank many people for providing prizes for their raffle and for helping to make their Christmas Fayre a success.
