After seeing the Angel we went into the Cathedral. Edith said the last time she visited was in 1945 when she was 15. Edith and Jean lit candles for their loved ones and we had lunch in the Cathedral cafe. We also saw the light installation called "Lights out" this was a great day for all .

Highwell House Christmas German Market

The Highwell House Outdoor Christmas Market is becoming a wonderful tradition at this time of year its an opportunity for families to get together before Christmas, drink mulled wine ,have a German beer, eat Bratwurst ,roasted chestnuts and snuggle around fire pits.We had a raffle and festive tombola plus this year we invited families to light a tea light ,write a table with words remembering loved ones they'd lost and then hang the label on our tree. We don't charge for anything but instead ask for donations and so far this evening we have raised over £400.00 for the residents fund purely from peoples generosity. A huge thanks to everyone involved in making tonights event such a great success, particularly Sarah and Les who have worked outside in Baltic temperatures setting everything up including building and decorating the Christmas Stalls.Thank you also to everyone for all the wonderful donations.
